bigroo Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Hi, wtmma IMHO you seem to be going in 2 different directions with Architectural visualisation & character animation. Is there a particular emphasis on one or do you want to learn all aspects? BTW one post of a question should suffice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtmma Posted May 7, 2006 Author Share Posted May 7, 2006 Hi bigroo, Mainly I need it for Arch. and visualisation, animation. But also I hope to learn character. Thanks. Walid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigroo Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I think you'll find that most folks go for max if it's architecural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manta Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 They are equally matched, having stregnths and weakneses in different areas... When you say learn, do you mean Buy...because although you can download the learning edition of maya and use it till you get good at it, the Max demo only lasts for 30 days, not really enough time to learn it, so you would have to buy it to learn it...

manta Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 yes, but you will have to be registered in an actual school to get it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Eloy Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 ...which is not a bad idea. Back in the old 3ds for DOS days it was hard to find a place to learn 3D and we all know how hard it was. If you have the opportunity, try an ATC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
