Marsh Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Blender, it can do everything you want to. Everyone talking about how it doesn't meet professional needs. Well its a good thing your not a professional modeler working for a huge company. It can do everything you need it to. Also has a built in game engine that's pretty fun.

Also has a built in game engine that's pretty fun.I concur, its not only free but its open source. It's a little bit of a learning curve if you have never rigged or animated models from scratch but there is alot of great tutorials out there and youtube video tutorials too, i find they're the best to learn off - only way i figured out how to use zbrush without a manual! (cept zbrush cost me half an arm and a leg)p.s max, Wings3d is horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demon xxx x Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 3DSMax and Maya PWNAGE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devogen Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 @DezireSoftware:> 3DSMax and Maya PWNAGEMaya is such pwnage I named one of my daughters after it, no joke. :cheesy:Ive tried quite a few now, Lightwave 7.0, Maya 7, 3dsmax2.5 to v5, poser, zbrush - theyre all pretty good.For anyone that really wants a sandbox interface, you cant go past Poser or Bryce. The companies who made them have been bought out a dozen times, i think its either corel who owns them now, or metacreations .. i cant keep up with them.Check out the making of Spore and what they did with Maya, its mindblowing.

demon xxx x Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 zbrush for mesh, 3DSMax for animation ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devogen Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 @DezireSoftware:> zbrush for mesh, 3DSMax for animation ;)Yeah but you try and import a zbrush mesh into 3dsmax and rig it… you have to lower your poly count so low, just a head in zbrush can be 250,000 p's - 3dsmax freaks out sometimes.
