Neck and Neck with

3DS Max and Maya

3D modeling, design and animation is closed connected with

multiple software tools that are designed to ease the process of

creation of 3D artworks. The two giants of software tools are

obviously 3ds Max and Maya, from the same house Autodesk.

Though it seems that there is no fundamental big difference

between them, there is some significant difference.

Different user interface

History/operator stack of both software work quite similar

Both software tools have all important tools for

Modeling Texturing Rigging Animation Rendering and Dynamics

Some animators agree that Maya can handle higher level of complexityE.g. high end character-rigs

where 3ds Max tend to get unstable

3ds Max has got a lot of small tools that make the job done faster

There are some nice plugin renderers available for 3ds Max

Some artists swear by the poly tools in Maya. It fits well for organic modeling, whereas there are more precision tools in 3ds Max

Maya is great with tasks that involve character rigging and animation superimposing

Maya has a huge advantage over 3ds Max when it comes to modeling nurbs as it uses different approach and is more user friendly

Many 3D animators consider Maya a better software for creating 3D animation as it has

greater capacity for simulating realistic animations and effects

3ds Max is well optimized for architectural visualization

3ds Max has strong rendering capabilities, improved interoperability with industry-

standard products as well as additional time-saving animation and mapping workflow tools

Maya is widely used for film making and TV production

To make a conclusion, both 3ds Max and Autodesk Maya are not too different and it is just a matter of taste

what software to work with.
