Dave Buckley Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 As the subject title suggests, what is the difference between the two. If i was thinkin about buying one of them, what would the comparisons be or pros and cons of both??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneis Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Unlimited has hair, cloth, fluids and fur et al. If I remember correctly, it also grants a more seats for batch rendering. These are the "pros". The con is that it will cost you (approx) $AU9-10,000 as opposed to (approx) $AU2-3,000. If you only need a cloth sim, try Maya Complete and a 3rd party plugin.

Tay othman Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Thanks shaneis My Personal Opinion For Film Production use Maya Unlimited it gives you the Elements posted by shaneis For Architectural Visualisation use Complete with mentalray Just like what max and viz do!!!

stylEmon Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 think about this: if you have arial footage of a site, and you need to composite the model of the building on the site, how would you do that in Complete? You'd have either a crap-ton of work to do, or you'd have to purchase some sort of camera matching software. With Unlimited, you can use Maya Live and skip the head ache.

Tay othman Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Yes but I thing buying a Matchmoving software is much more convenient and less expensive than additional 5000$ to go unlimited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylEmon Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 i will say, you get what you pay for. I've used both Live and plug-in/standalone matching software. Live was the easiest by far, and the least jittery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tay othman Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Yes Nick you're Right but for companies for example it's a matter of investment in my company we've got 2 liscences of Unlimited and others are in complete....but we are using boujou for camera tracking and toxik for compositing.... Any way it's just a matter of money counting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylEmon Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 if you've got compositing software, I agree that Unlimited may be a little much for Arch Viz. Not all firms are that dedicated to their renders. My background is in TV media where updated software, and getting the most from the least is important. No one likes to change platforms and software in the middle of a project, and we've all done it! For some studios/firms time is money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
