----------------------------------- CHUTHAN20 Sun Aug 29, 2004 9:18 pm maya? ----------------------------------- which is good? maya or flash mx? ----------------------------------- Dan Sun Aug 29, 2004 9:39 pm ----------------------------------- For 3d stuff? i did not know flash even had a 3d part to it. If you have money or shop at kazaa/emule you should go with 3d max, but there are some open sorce free 3d progames like blender (i think it is called) that are also just as good. ----------------------------------- Tony Sun Aug 29, 2004 10:30 pm ----------------------------------- flash MX doesn't have 3D without 3rd party plugins. Personally I'd go with 3DSMAX, but Maya is on par with that if you're fine with UI ----------------------------------- Mazer Mon Aug 30, 2004 5:31 am ----------------------------------- Good point, Blender is cheap. :D ----------------------------------- Amailer Mon Aug 30, 2004 5:35 am ----------------------------------- I like Maya better then 3D MAX, Don't know why maybe cos that's the first thing i used :) Tho it cost too much..... ----------------------------------- Viper Mon May 02, 2005 11:06 am ----------------------------------- is it possible to get maya free??(and b able 2 use it so the question is really is there a way 2 get maya and licence+key free?) ----------------------------------- Mazer Mon May 02, 2005 7:15 pm ----------------------------------- Yes. You can get it for free by being a filthy sinning thief of a software pirate. OR, if you actually give some kind of shit about 3D graphics (I mean, why else do you care about the program?) I suppose you might be willing to shell out some cash. If you're going to do anything productive with it, you should be able to justify it's expense. Or am I just in a bad mood today? ----------------------------------- rdrake Tue May 03, 2005 6:44 am ----------------------------------- There is a free version of Maya for learing purposes only. It's called [url=http://www.alias.com/eng/products-services/maya/maya_ple/index.shtml]Maya PLE. It's just like the full version, only it's for personal use and leaves a watermark on everything you render. Great way to try out the program though. ----------------------------------- Viper Tue May 03, 2005 1:19 pm ----------------------------------- what do u mean it leaves a watermark on stuff you make do u mean it encodes something or actually puts a streak across it? :? ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Tue May 03, 2005 3:04 pm ----------------------------------- Well, even if someone was serious about 3d modelling - they might not be able to "shell out some cash", or at least enough since its over $1000, maybe even $5000? I forget. Another good 3d modeller - especially for games is Milkshape 3d, its free too. ----------------------------------- rdrake Tue May 03, 2005 4:10 pm ----------------------------------- what do u mean it leaves a watermark on stuff you make do u mean it encodes something or actually puts a streak across it? :?It leaves a watermark which is tiled across the entire image. It says something like "Not for commercial use" or something like that. Haven't used it in a few weeks though. It's very noticable and not discreet at all. ----------------------------------- Viper Wed May 04, 2005 12:08 pm ----------------------------------- i have only seen demos of maya other than PLE but i still think that $6999 american is a bit much i dont see tht being justified unless you plan on selling the creations/your work ----------------------------------- Mazer Wed May 04, 2005 1:59 pm ----------------------------------- i have only seen demos of maya other than PLE but i still think that $6999 american is a bit much i dont see tht being justified unless you plan on selling the creations/your work That's exactly my point. And if you don't plan to sell your works, what are you planning to use it for?
