I know this has been talked about before, i did a search on it. however after looking through the results i realised that most people chose other programs like 3ds max because it is more user friendly or they have no idea how maya works and dont want to learn it.
i’d like to know more in-depth in what way other programs (etc 3ds max, lightwave) is better, as in what their capabilities and strengths are.
my bro right now’s learning maya, and he’s loving it, but he hasn’t touched any other 3d program except for swift3d and so can’t give his judgement. why’d he pick maya in the first place? well he loved all the renditions produced by maya, from unreal tournament (i think it’s that one) to final fantasy.
are other programs capable of that? when i go to the movies or watch full motion videos on your pc/gaming system i notice that those that actually rock and look realistic were mostly made in maya.
so…could u guys fill me in as to what are the strengths/weaknesses of maya and other 3d programs, and which is best used for what?
