Oh yes.. for sure your 100 % correct.. in everything you said..
there is NO BEST.. ! hmm?
Adobe photoshop ? same concept but in 2D world standard !
but as you said.. there are lesser packages that do the same or better with skilled artists..
Maya is such a STANDARD that ALL MAJOR MOVIE HOUSES employ this one application. Since version 2 it has been the leader of all software programs for what it can accomplsh that others can only "imitate".
According to all the experts and professionals in the FIELD
Maya is for modelilng and softimage for animation
tHERE IS NO "one' PROGRAM THAT CAN DO IT ALL.. each has weakness and strengths.
1000 dollars verses 9,000 dollars.. hmmm
50 dollars (paint shop pro) verses the price of adobe photoshop.. ???? hmmm
huge comparsion in price difference ..
I am sorry I made such generalized statments that offended some..
I find that posting on forums is not all that accepted on some sites.. some people can't wait.. to jump on the tinyest error or find fault with the content.
80& of todays Gamers are made in 3D studio Max.. I am a complete "rookie" in this program and in all of the others.. I have all the books
I own all of these books in real life.. plus over 150 more.
Yes some of my work is posted other places.. on other graphics forums,
on photography forums in the "digital" art section..
did I do something wrong ?
Because recently I posted a tutorial explaining how colors work in the darkroom. ha ha ha.. I got bashed big time.. NO ONE ASKED YOU TO PUT THIS UP.. thread locked ! ha ha.
people display their ignorance at times when they close down a thread because they have discovered that they were wrong
especially when they make a complete fool out of themselves.. (not here) but on other places I see this happening all too common because they didn't understand the words..
I am sorry If Imisled anyone by saying it is the GREATEST program.. I meant ALL 3D PROGRAMS are the greatest experience.. to create in!
there is nothing that can compare.. unless that is.. your a photoshop wizard then you can easily beat the pants off of max or maya or any 3d program for that matter.!
This was a challenge once on a graphics site.. 3d machine gun
Max against photoshop.. there was just no comparison.. the max users lost
the photoshop 3d object although it could not be moved had a much more beliveable texture and likenss than the 3d model did..
creativety is only as good as the person using the tools.!
I have decades to go to learn.. I am just a "rookie' experessing my delights in a fantastic program.. there aare wll over 100 3d programs out there..
Hash animation master can do all that Maya can do.. 9,000 dollars verses 199 dollars ? go figure.!!
The cost of Maya with all plugins and other tools is well over 80,000 !
