marque_pierre Posted January 22, 2005 Report Posted January 22, 2005 Do any of you mapcoreans have experience with dedicated modellers, such as Silo or Modo? I kinda like the idea, but for now 3ds Max is where I model 99% of my stuff. But I am not always too keen on Max's texture or animation tools. So to be able to string together a custom pipeline of workflow suited to your need and tastes sounds appealing. Say, modelling in Modo. texturing in ZBrush, animating in XSI, rendering in Mental Ray... These new modellers claim to be oh so intuitive and artists friendly, what's your take on that? Yes, I know I need to sit down and spend some quality time with the software. But I don't have that time now, so in preparation, I want to narrow the field of packages down a bit... Any takers? Quote
OL Posted January 22, 2005 Report Posted January 22, 2005 just makes things more complex to switch around... max has everything you need for games. modo looks neat, i watched some of their videos but i think its macintosh only. didnt seem to do anything amazing that max couldn't, either. Quote
marque_pierre Posted January 22, 2005 Author Report Posted January 22, 2005 What application can truly do what the other big guys can't? I personally feel that these days it is more a case of how fast and easy can you do it, rather than can it be done at all... Quote
Pericolos0 Posted January 22, 2005 Report Posted January 22, 2005 i found wings3D to be abit better for lowpoly modelling than max. But those 2 or 3 extra features arn't worth the hassle of switching between aps i think. I'm staying in max for my modelling Quote
marque_pierre Posted January 22, 2005 Author Report Posted January 22, 2005 Thanks for sharing Dangerous one. Quote
$poon Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 And don't forget Maya. I suppose theres Softimage too, heh heh...'Softimage'....why does that make me laugh? Quote
marque_pierre Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Posted January 27, 2005 Come on Spoon. Maya and XSI are not dedicated modelling tools! They full scale kitchen sink packages. Quote
KidDynamite Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 ooooooo Modo is mac only? i wanna try! Quote
The Postman Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 Modo is not mac only. I'm using it right now on my PC Quote
