Re: Programs for modeling

Most of the team members use Max, although there are a few maya users, watch out for Bandu he is an XSI user. XSI modellers are like Firefox people they constantly bug you about how much better there software is until you finally give in and get it. Btw do you use Fire fox? tongue

Re: Programs for modeling

I do tongue

But I use Max tongue

If you want to start modelling you could check out the Lynda.com tutoarials, I learned it that way, they really start from the beginning (kinda annoying if you already messed around a bit you'll know half of what they tell you in tutorial 1 to 5 (out of about a 100)

Re: Programs for modeling

So when you say you use max you mean 3DsMax? And if so which version is the best.

Re: Programs for modeling

I personally prefer Maya, I hardly know squat about modelling in max, only unwrapping.

And yes, max = 3D Studio Max, the best version should be the latest, which  is 9 I think. I think it's only a matter of personal prefernce which program you prefer. I started out with Maya and then had a look at Max. I believe that the program you learn first, is the program thats gonna stick with ya

Re: Programs for modeling

9 should be the best but most of us use 8 I think, I just got 9 so I'm installing it in the weekend see what it's like, but 9 adds a whole host of new features so you'd bettter learn the old ones first tongue
