Max ownz Maya

[Godhand]

Can't wait for the update too. I'll consiter getting back into modelling with this ;p.

Mastasurf, I am quite sure as yourself that they will fuse alot of the options in the upcomming program. Either that or they might remake/modify most of the tools to benefit both maya and max users, only in a better way ;p.

Ow...nice, first 3dsmax costed 3500 dollars, and now that they are gonna add Maya features it will cost 4500 dollars....Yay for money!
No seriously....is Autodesk trying to eliminate competition? If so....Lightwave be warned!

I sense a disturbance in the force --;
I don't know why some people are complaining about this. If the next version of Max/Maya its very simple to stick with the old version or switch to a competitors brand (unless they get bought out too ><; )

I win 5.5 seconds for Max start up!!! yeah this is good news. I hope they make a hybrid utility. Can you say 3d Studio MaXa?

 

[Mr. Phonso]

i think its more like 3d Studio Maya sounds pretty strange

 

[blaize]

they'll just stay 2 seperate programs, only changes i think will happen is max file import for maya.
and maya file import for max.

Autodesk didnt make 3dmax btw, they just bought the company who does: Discreet.

about 7/8 months ago autodesk bought Discreet, now they bought Alias, which company/program will be next ?

In a SHOCKING move today Autodesk (the creators of 3D Studio Max) purchased Alias (the creators of Maya) for $182 million dollars. The news articles are here:

I posted this here because it has a DIRECT relation to this forum, hope that doesn't disturb anyone. Personally I didn't see this coming and I'm quite shocked. Anyone up for some discussion?

clue me in on this thread (who is maya?)

clue me in on this thread (who is maya?)

Maya

3D Studio Max

Both are very powerful in the 3d world. If both combine, I can only imagine the results.
