-
thx for the reply
i was thinking that as i was more into it when i was last on it with the old demos
if noone replys ill take that one
-
It depends. Softimage and Max are designed for animation and middling for movies and games, whereas autodesk is for cad and engineering applications.
-
well its modeling
redesigning stuff
-
sorry to go off topic abit but if your doing art/design you should give ubuntu studio a go just burn to a disk or to a usb stick and away you go lol....i used ubutnu studio for my hnc/d graphic design and art and for my tattoo designs.......plus my freind who works for rock star north uses it for home use for back grounds for games

i just draw my tattoo designs and keep in a book that way no bugger can nick your designs lol
-
i have a copy of autocad 2009 and 2011 for CNC milling and 3d modeling.
i draw mostly 2d stuff with it.... you can do like 10x more than that though.
-
just need a good app to make 3D designs of my stuff to see if it looks ok before making the mods
I've use all them but imagesoft was abit on the hard side
max was good and very simple
cad I've not used fully
-
then dont use autocad as your 3d modeling app its not smooth, its bulky to use.
use 3ds max if you feel good about it so you wont waste time relearning
-
I have got a friend who is really good with blender, if you want to go open-source then that is the way to go.
-
blender is really good my gf uses it alot on her netbook...joys of linux lol,

Very difficult to get the hang of, though...

well i know alot about 3d max
thx alot guys for replys really helps when i get some.
-
3DS Max is good for individual editing,
Maya is great for importing meshes and animating.
Get Maya and 3DS Max
If you want something easier as in software with better UI I recommend
Cinema 4D
-
its ok with learning harder stuff takes some time but still get what to do
i know max did export to swf on old ones but not sure about the new ones
i had 3d max mite just download maya before buying it
-
I enjoyed 3dsmax, but you will need maya if your animating,
cinama4d is ok, but only good for graphics, like making a youtube backround and combining it with photoshop
Sorry for double post
-
i allways buy what i like but still gota download them first
ill download it then try if i like ill see what my mate can do all its is i want to do is make models of mods i want so instead of just going out and make it i want to see if it will look good and were and what mod to do
