Re: Do most studios solely use just one 3D package?
surprising that nobody mentions Motionbuilder for animation here.. it's all about Maya eh? I've only worked with games in Sweden, worked a tad on a short animation series in Japan but that was Maya..heh maybe you guys don't have too much insight on the animation department in your companies? I mean, sure Maya is fine and… -
Re: Do most studios solely use just one 3D package?
At Bungie you could use Max or Maya. I believe the only people to use Maya were the character artists and animators. For the most part environment artists and prop artists used Max. At Naughty Dog we are forced to use Maya only due to all the tools being integrated with it and how big animation is here. Also they wouldn't… -
Re: Do most studios solely use just one 3D package?
I'd modify that a bit. Learn whichever your more comfortable with and use that day in and day out. Then, learn the others just enough if you had to switch it wouldn't be a huge blow. Then, go back to your program of choice and have fun. Probably pop into the others every once in a while to stay current. Checking out the… -
Re: Do most studios solely use just one 3D package?
This is only really true if you need exporters and pipelines from every app, I'm not sure if you read my post, but if your end result of using X+Z app is a standardized, common final deliverable file in your main app, you don't have any of these concerns, not to mention the economic/productivity benefits from simply… -
Re: Do most studios solely use just one 3D package?
Our studio (at least our team) uses Max for env/char, Sketchup for design, and Maya for animation. Go figure, lol. -
Re: Do most studios solely use just one 3D package?
In these mixed software studios, does everyone have a copy of each software installed? I could see it being a pain in the ass if you have to modify someone's work or base your work off of theirs. I recently had to make some statues based on unrigged character models - I just grabbed the characters, quickly skinned them to… -
Re: Do most studios solely use just one 3D package?
If you only have blender experience, and NO Maya or max experience, that is going to be a negative. If the studio is reviewing two equally talented/qualified artists, not knowing a major 3d app, at-least on a rudimentary level would be a concern. Personally, I've gotten by with just basic working knowledge of Max and Maya… -
Re: Do most studios solely use just one 3D package?
I hated Max in comparison to Maya at first as well, but now I honestly prefer it when it comes to modelling (not animation or rendering, where I still prefer Maya). But as Justin said, yes, it's unrealistic. You should expect to have to bite the bullet and use whatever 3D package they use. Be it Modo, Max, Maya, Xsi,… -
Re: Do most studios solely use just one 3D package?
~ I'm gonna stand in and defend Rick's statement here. Honestly Pior, and Maze kind of add to the point too that if you know how to model you can hired straight up and expected to learn on the job. If you're so petrified of having to learn a new program on the being hired then maybe you don't want the job enough. My studio… -
Re: Do most studios solely use just one 3D package?
I've been in several studios, and all the modellers were using their app of choice (Xsi, Max, Maya, etc). In the majority of studios they don't have any problem if you can export the content to their pipeline. And with .obj and .fbx that's not a problem :) We must don't forget that when we go to an interview, we are…
