3ds Max vs. Maya

[teki408]

:bash: For a long time my friends and I have been debating which one is really better: 3D Studio Max or Maya? I personally belive that it depends what kind of atmospere you want. For example, 3ds max has been known to be used to make games like SIlent Hill 2 and Metal Gear Sold 2. These games have both a dark atmosphere ot setting. With Maya, I've noticed that it has been used to make the game Ratchet And Clank. This game has a nice "Spyro" feel to it.

Anbody here to contridict that?

Hi teki

No-one can really say for sure which one is better, because they both have very good points to them

It's really all what you are comfortable with. I personally use 3dsMax alot more than Maya, because in my opinion it's easier to use.... but I have friends who say Maya... whatever...
I think Maya has a better renderer than 3D studio, but I think 3D studio has a better workflow... there are tradeoffs.

as for the atmosphere.... it's not so much the program used, as much as what the artist were going for....

Ihope I helped even just a bit
