Kaftan Barlast Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 I know we have some programmers frequenting these boards, thus I asume that there must be a few artists like myself aswell. Im fairly traditional when it comes to 3D using 3Ds MAX with Zbrush for highpoly sculpting, but I prefer Painter above photoshop because of the superior brush engine and real colour blending But the arrival of Zbrush 3 gave me one huge kick so Im trying to expand from MAX to XSI aswell, keeping with the times and all.

Kaftan Barlast Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 has anyone managed to understand Blender and its "UI from outer space"? They claim its extremely intuitive and usable, but when it takes an experienced 3D artist several minutes to figure out how to draw a simple polygon, I begin to doubt those claims. XSI on the other hand has everything where youd expect it to be.

Diamond Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 has anyone managed to understand Blender and its "UI from outer space"? They claim its extremely intuitive and usable, but when it takes an experienced 3D artist several minutes to figure out how to draw a simple polygon, I begin to doubt those claims. XSI on the other hand has everything where youd expect it to be. I didn't. After a lot of fiddling around with 3DSMax I just can't bring myself to use Blender. Also, I have never heard anyone calling its interface "intuitive". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaftan Barlast Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 Now, that's an attitude I like. Not like those darn pesky people who can do both. I mean, its hard enough to land a job without having to compete with guys who can write their own engine AND make all the content aswell. I didn't. After a lot of fiddling around with 3DSMax I just can't bring myself to use Blender. Also, I have never heard anyone calling its interface "intuitive". I think one of their slogans is something like "after using Blender, youll wish that every program worked like this". By which, I asume, they mean that once youve started wearing your trousers backwards, itll feel funny to turn them right again But I dont know, maybe it IS great once you know how to use it.

metadigital Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Or perhaps once you learn how to speak Swahili, you'll want to speak it all the time around your English-speaking friends to show off that you can and also so as to not forget how.

Such folks are rare... And also tend to be hobbiest opposed to professionals. I do know a couple though, although one of them is now in management, and the other quit his job, citing that he no longer desieres to develop computer games. "I'm a programmer at a games company...

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I only use small FREE tools, since I don't need anything more for Wc3, which is the only thing I'm modding right now. I use GIMP as a 2d art program, and it does the job very well. For 3d I use GMAX, which is still a good program, seeing as its free. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
