I switched from blender to 3ds max just love it

Stability: "Blender crashes a lot more, but I found this one guy on the internet that said he had a problem uninstalling and installing Maya, so between 3DS Max and Blender, it's a draw." ???

I use both programs now - both have their merits. I prefer Blender but use Max for work. The only point I would add to the video would be texturing - texturing in Blender is a breeze but Max is a pain in the arse which is why we use Lumion (a great program btw) at the job. He’s right about all his points - pay attention to what he says my friends.

Someone having more than 20 years of experience in 3D: SO: 1. Learning Curve... (Perfectly Relative... Not comparable) | Draw 2. Community is a different thing. In this case Blender has a much bigger community than any other 3D software. (Free) | Blender +1 3. Max has an SDK. (which can be extended with, c++, c#, python, maxscript) and compatible with Qt, WPF, .NET, GDI). Blender has an API which cannot be used for as many things. A guy asked me to write UVReactor Blender. It cannot be written for Blender, since no SDK. | 3dsmax +1 4. Modeling... It's only depends on how you model. Both have shit loads of free scripts. | Draw 5. Both has the same animation tools. Both have a lot of free scripts for animation. Btw. Many companies are using max for animation. | Draw 6. Comparing render engines are also doesn't make sense. All of them has their own area. | Draw 7. Both crashes. I have crashed Blender by changing a simple hotkey. This one is also not a comparable opinion. If you know the complexity of these two software, you know all software has their own problematic parts. | Draw 8. Price... Blender is free. Clearly a winner in this aspect. BUT... 3 year of learning license and Indie license for 3ds max and free ADN license, plus you can participate in the Beta. | Blender +1 8+1. Industry Standard... Good luck finding a job with Blender | 3dsmax +1. . . . It's funny that you left this part out of this comparison as a total separated point. Overall these two are not comparable in merit. Both software are good if you know how to use them.

some added points: 1. Cycles is not comparable to Arnold in term of fidelity (biased vs unbiased). and although is appears faster in simple scenes, it is actually slower if photorealism is your goal. 2. working is CAD, SOLID meshes is not viable in blender. 3. Render engines: Vray, Corona, Fstrom... are a big plus in 3dsmax. 4. Sculpting and texturing - Blender all the way. 5. Particles System in max - Tyflow, is a strong plus. 6. I find Blender subdi modeling to be way more organic and creative.

so basicly 3Ds Max just only for modelling.. You need Substance painter to Texturing, You need Zbrush to Sculpting, Maya for Animation, Arnold renderer for rendering so that 1,875 /year just for modelling, you have to add Substance, Zbrush, Maya and Arnold for the rest of the works When my blender crash on windows, go to %temp% folder and youll find blender make backup every couple of minutes, depend on your setting,

Considering that my workflow consists of software each being pretty much or de facto specializing on specific tasks and disciplines i prefer 3ds Max over Blender easily as i use it for modeling while i sculpt in ZBrush, animate and rig (and groom) mostly in Maya, do clothes in Marvelous Designer, texture in Substance and render in Unreal Engine as im a indie game developer.

Rendering: EEVEE next should definitely be a consideration. When you have a tight deadline to meet this is crucial. Modeling: How could you not include Blender's Geo Nodes? There should be another category too - Future Trending: People are rapidly moving over to Blender. Autodesk will never add technical drawings to their DCCs since it would be in direct competition with their CAD programs. Blender doesn't have this restriction and could gain an army of new users if it is added (BlenderBIM is making progress for the Construction Industry but a version for Automotive and Product Design is also needed). There is a spanner in the works for both - and that's Unreal Engine. Both Blender and Max have a lot of users that create content for games. If UE does continue to makes leaps and bounds of improvements to it's modeling and animation systems (which it should with it's growing UEFN users), then a lot will leave the DCCs as time progresses.

To summarize, Blender is perfect for individuals or small scale operations. But for massive enterprise level projects, Autodesk is the way to go. They may not have as great of a community as Blender, but their customer support for enterprises is top notch.

Max is dead easy, I used it many years for architectural design and previz, Blender is a hassle, way too many funky workflows, shortcuts, and limitations, I got really frustrated with it and switched to Houdini, I never looked back!

thanks for the video bro

One important aspect of 3ds max over blender is polygon handling, max can handle tons while blender stays far behind. On the plus side of blender, i really like the interface, but at the end i choose 3ds max

That student problem with Maya is the same problem I have. For some reason I can't install Maya, always crashing after the install, Autodesk doesn't seem to care, they don't offer any help or solution. Meanwhile, I have used Max for a decade, it's my go to software and I prefer it to Maya in all situations. I started to use Blender 5y ago and I like it a lot. But what I hate about Blender is how they keep changing the interface and some functionalities. Stability is very important and that should include how the development of a software is going. Max changed the interface in 2017 and it took some time to get used to which slowed our productivity. But Blender radically changed theirs multiple time which is infuriating at times. I use Blender for 3D printing and some animations but Max for everything else. TyFlow is also very hard to ignore especially since now they added Stable Diffusion in TyFlow. I had to install Maya for a partnership with a client and we ultimately decided to use Blender instead and use TyFlow and Ornatrix from 3DS Max for the special effects. I hope Maya crashes and burn!

Lowkey, 3ds max is incredible, even better than Maya. Allows a lot of space of innovative creativity

you cant compare blender and 3ds max. blender is an all around full functioning application. 3ds max is way behind. i don't know why people make these comparison videos and end in no decision. blender is the future and constantly evolving.

There literally is no comparison, 3Ds Max tops now and always

Hello Quincy 😎

whom ever say that modeling is better in max, clearly did not use blender.

If you can afford it, Max is better, and easier to learn. Blender only dumped its ridiculous interface with the release of 2.80

Dude, you are comparing Autodesk's 3ds Max and Maya with Blender. Max and Maya are professional solutions with almost real-time support. Blender is probably okay, but comparing it with 3ds Max and making comments on both of them is nonsense.

bro just ranted about why blender is better

se

I was a 3dsMAX user from my college days in 1997-98. I shifted to Blender in 2023. I have never looked back. Blender is the future. Autodesk is soon going to be the past.

Blender fanboy 😒

I work in both, and 3ds Max is more prone to sudden crashes than Blender-there's no argument there. 3ds Max literally crashes when you rotate geometry in the viewport, which never happens with Blender. Blender is extremely optimized but has its own limitations when it comes to large scenes. 3ds Max is better at handling lots of geometry, but in everyday work, 3ds Max crashes a thousand times more often than Blender. Blender creates an auto-recovery file in the Windows temp folder at the time of a crash, whereas Max's recovery files are often corrupted and unusable anyway.

Garbage garbage...
