daangelo29 5 Report post Posted November 16, 2010 Which one's better? (And I'm talking about the latest versions). Planning to go back to my good old modeling days. I've used 3DSMax before, but I'm wondering if Blender is a good alternative. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carlos85G 22 Report post Posted November 16, 2010 Well, 3DS has the benefit of being the industry's standard, so I'd go with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Morning Operator 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2010 You're saying that wrong Carlos. That's Autodesk Maya. I'm planning on doing a game study which has an international standard and they teach you Maya. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carlos85G 22 Report post Posted November 16, 2010 Ehm, EMO... Both 3DS and Maya are from AutoDesk... It's like saying Adobe AfterEffects is the standard for video editing and not Adobe Premiere. Each one is better for extra functions. Besides, when a professional model is requested, a 3DS file is required to be delivered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragon King 15 Report post Posted November 16, 2010 Maya is better for modeling IF you plan on animating. 3ds MAX is more modeling, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Morning Operator 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2010 Well, the study's about Art and Design and they put you in the game industry after that because they've tied relationships with companies like: Ubisoft and Guerilla Games. So I think that they know what they're doing/saying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daangelo29 5 Report post Posted December 30, 2010 Sorry for the bump, but I wanna ask if Maya or Blender can be used for GTA SA modding like DFF importing/exporting. Just curious. I might go for Maya next school year. My course will be about animation and game programming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragon King 15 Report post Posted December 30, 2010 Use maya to make the animations but when it comes to exporting them import them into 3ds MAX and export via 3ds MAX. Blender's exporters are um..... crap and Maya doesn't have any but is best for making animations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
