Which 3D software? Not an exact science

pardon the technical difficulties. Blender.org, wings3d, formz, electricimage, Autodesk Maya, Softimage, Pixologic Zbrush, 3D studio Max, Luxology Modo, motionbuilder, newtek lightwave3d, cinema4d…

    Ok im a complete 3D software virgin, im on a mac, im not interested in animation in the slightest (im an illustrator, only interested in still frames), free would be great but im willing to pay for professional quality software, i want to create a mixture of organic and industrial imagery (much like the oddworld game imagery), which software would be best suited for me? Many thanks for any helpful advice!

    Hi. Aprox by the year 2020 a laptop will reach the human brain potential for processing data which means that there is a huge market waiting for hundreds of billions dollars to be sold or invested in humanoid robots and intelligent systems and the beginning of the bigger industry ever maid in human history. Search on Google luisbeck007 you will find the most complete humanoid robot list in the World, good information and interesting issues.

    As to Max and Maya being the same….uhhhh??

    And it´s Modo from Luxology, not Mondo.

    ZBrush and Modo are totally different beasts, one a sculpting soft, the other a subdivision modeler (Not high end? Modo is considered the best subd modeler ATM?!) They complement each other wonderfully.

    I’ve only ever used Blender, although I plan to pick up either MAX or Maya, since artists proficient in these programs seem to be in demand in just about any market, from video games to movies. Although its gonna be a bit sad having to move away from Blender’s workflow (And no, it wasn’t “TEH SUCKZ” for me – probably because I was a first time user without any prior experience in 3D creation), at least I’ve got some basic knowledge that can be used across the board.

    I like Maya, Lightwave, 3D Studio Max, and Maxon Cinema 4D. But, I think by far the best Animation Software is Houdini Master Version 10 by Sidefx. The fluid dynamics are unrivalled. I have also found that the rendering it comes with is excellent. The integrated Rendering Application (Mantra) is as good as Pixar’s Renderman or Mental Ray. I would even say that it is better in many respects Notably light interactions and general special effects.

    very helpful video. It’s sad that softimage got bought into autodesk. Before that, the cheapest softimage package only costed about 400 dollars…

  12. bittergourd72 says:

    It’s not Mondo, it’s Modo, Luxology Modo to be exact. Used in places like ILM, Pixar, Digital Domain and The Embassy.

    Stevejjd. I agree. I think what you saying is more of a present thinking compared to when I did this video two year ago. Nowadays, digital sculpt is so advanced as well as common software that being an artist is the order of the day. Way because when, owning the hardware and software was most relevant.

  14. stevejjd says:

    Some companies allow the artist to use what tools they like to make generic assets; but they may be very strict in other areas of production were you must use a particular application.
    More important issue is what skills you NEED! If you want to get into 3d you must be an Artist and problem solver. Learn how to draw, paint and sculpt in the real world because those skills are used in any application. Software will always change, its your basic skills that need the most attention.

  19. PaulAppaul says:

    Thank you, this is alot of help.

  20. AVTPro says:

    Nobody care what modeler you use if you are freelancing. Just send an OBJ. I have modelers work in all kinds of apps.

  21. rish420chronic says:

    anyone know how hard it is to get a job using modo. ive never used any other software, modo just seems really easy to use so i never bothered with any other, i have 3ds max 9 but ive never even opened it.
