February 14, 200619 yr If you have the add-ons and time/knowlede, it is. Im no 3d designer but I have seen tremendous things done with Maya by one of my collegues of my company.
February 14, 200619 yr I have Maya...It it a good program??? Deadly_Nightshade <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I like mayans ....sorry, I can't help with the programm :">
February 14, 200619 yr The 3 most commonly used programs for building 3D graphics is 3D Studio MAX by Autodesk Maya by Alias XSI by Softimage Youll do ok no matter which one you use but MAX is most commonly used when making game graphics.

And I tell you this, if you leave that place, for the next... Lets say... 24 hours of net surfing or computer exploring, then you can call me a Mossa TheDonkeyAss! Serously that place is just full of intelligent people, good learner stuff, VTMs "Video Training Moduls" and they recently made a special VTM set for Maya especially, which I didnt watch because I am not a Maya user, nor want to be. BUT! They are making 3Ds Max stuff soon, and even through they have made old stuff about 3Ds Max, they can quite help anyone getting started with the newer version of Max... I just means its amazing place for learners, you should definatly check it out. From Your Friend, Mossa TheGreat...

February 15, 200619 yr I think Shrek was done in Maya. Nearly all Lucasart games are. A lot of companies seem to be 3DMax diehards though. There are none that are right, only strong of opinion. There are none that are wrong, only ignorant of facts
February 15, 200619 yr wEEE waterslides <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ancient temple with waterslide built-in. Much fun on sacrifice partys
February 28, 200619 yr powerful, but can tend to be less user-friendly and slightly more tempremental than other 3D modeling programs (well, 3DSM and C4D anyway). (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
March 20, 200619 yr How much would full versions of Maya or 3DMax run for? Judging by other dev tools, they seem like they would be a bit spendy. Do they offer student versions or something along those lines for a reduced price? Edited March 20, 200619 yr by quadrilogy
March 21, 200619 yr 3DS MAX 8 single license is a little more than $4000, a network license is a little more expensive. Maya 7 is priced at $7000 for the Unlimited edition, the regular should cost about the same as MAX. Zbrush, which you WILL need to make graphics for games like Quake4 or UT3 is a measly $489 for a full version BUT a student license will run at about $150 for MAX and 350 for Maya And theres also Softimage XSI which retails from $450-7000 depending on package with a student license at $175. Its not aswidely used but Ive heard that it is better than both MAX and Maya.

March 21, 200619 yr Snip <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks for the details. It seems that no matter which I go with, its sure to put a hefty dent (more like crater) in my wallet. I'll have to wait til summer before I can really start saving up. I guess I'll just stick with flash for the time being...
March 21, 200619 yr There is also Gmax and Milkshape which is used in modding alot..due to be free or very cheap in compareson of the more full versions.
March 24, 200619 yr Meet Bertie. Hes not quite finished* yet but he could never have been made using only MAX. * needs more work on the envelopes, the colour texture and I could have put him in a nicer pose but I just pulled a few bones and left it at that for show DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

March 24, 200619 yr Don't the software companies have a gimped version of their applications that only work on a single project / piece / whatever you call it? OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
March 25, 200619 yr I believe the educational editions of Maya and MAX are completely functional but stripped of a few advanced features like ragdoll. The trial version of Zbrush is gimped so it cant be used together(no importing meshes) with a program like MAX, making it useless for anything but playing around in, which is sort of the point of a trial version anyway.

March 27, 200619 yr I would tell you but I need a key to activate mine, I installed the demo and it ran out before I could use it!

April 15, 200619 yr I remember being able to modify the clock forward in time by a few years, then installing some software or another, and putting it back to the present. That would net me a few years. Edited April 15, 200619 yr by Llyranor (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
