Maya PLE 5
I downloaded this a couple weeks ago… It was the first time I tried maya, and I must say that MAYA OWNS ALL. Blows 3ds out of the water with ease. Now I see why people rave about this program.
Plus, the whole PLE thing is just stellar… Love it! Anyone looking for a good introduction to modeling, without having to pay anything, download and install Maya PLE!
Would models created in Maya be any easier to use in RtCW and ET, or do they both export in the same format? I’ve used 3ds max and gmax, and adapting to Maya seems like utter Hell. Which one is better for creating models for the Quake III engine?
G-max is better for making model’s you can get into the game .
G-max has allot of importer’s and Exporters already made for it.
but with any luck we will see file converts for the ple somtimes soon once Doom 3 is officailay out.
but G-max is free also . and still not a bad tool though in need of a serious update if they plan on having it stay as a viable tool that is not an antique.
I learned allot on G-max and it is a very powerfull modeling program just not as user friendly as Maya is though.
I tried learning Maya and Max at the same time.
That was next to impossible for me… so I ended up sticking to Max. Hasn’t let me down yet, and incredibly easy to use. Although, I’m tempted to give Maya a go again.
I downloaded it a couple weeks ago too, coincidentally, I really like the inclusion of the n00b movies but that’s as far as I’ve gotten with it.
