Best 3d Modeling Program

lets discuss this

You got 3Ds, C4D and maya that are the best in my books.

now look at this, i found out recently they are the best in specific fields, and the mds program is just real good overall.

What do u guys say, what do u guys say which is best for what, and for what reason

 

maya ........ lol... but it's really expensive...............

 

Maya is good for modeling animals, and more lifelike(or imaginative) creatures in my book - but I always found 3dsmax to be better for vehicles, buildings, and larger 'objects.' Cinema4d and Cool3d cannot even be compared to the same league of both these programs, they are good for some smaller things, but nothing on a grand scale like 3DS and Maya are used for.

For the record, back when I used Maya - it was free for educational purposes. Meant you'd never be able to sell your work, but at least you get to try the program without visiting a warez site and getting viruses.

I will have to go with Andrew on this one.

 

for mi, i think 3dsmax is quite good. =)

 

AGREED

 

I personally use c4d but yeah, it's probably better for smaller things. Never tried Maya or 3dsmax....

 

so maya is actually better on a larger scale than c4d. NICE< cause i just want a 3d modeling program for lp's, once i get good with maya(btw just pm me if ur interested in a "discount" on maya) i'll go for 3ds

BTW, can anyone help me out with maya?

 

maya

 

disney uses maya for their pixar stuff. If you are only going to make abstract renders for LP's use C4D or 3dmax will do the job.

 

well cinema 4d is commonly know for abstract artist everywhere, and not so much a modeling program. but it can make some amazing models, with alot more time and dedication.

next is 3d studio max, which is basicly the ultimate and most difficult to learn modeling program, but once you know it, its all goood, it is thee best "modeling" progam out there

 

Lets just say Madagascar, Shrek, Shrek II, Shark Tale, and many others were made by Maya 7.0.

Is it not worth the $7,000?

 

woah, but im not looking forward to abstract reners, and if i am, im going for 3ds in that case.

k, maya ftw, now can people help me out with tuts.
