3D Max Modeling

3D Max Modeling

Still on Maya- this one has a huge edge over 3D max when it comes to Nurbs modeling. The fact behind this is that the software has taken a different approach in this regard and by extension this means that the application is more user friendly on this regard. What you need to know about Nurbs briefly is that these are complex surfaces. Maya has a great capability of simulating realistic animations and effects. Of course 3D Max is more affordable than Maya for complex and architectural designs and animations Maya is the best pick.

3D Max has got large modeling tools in it, gives you the privilege of environment creation at large scale and another good thing is that it works very well with other Autodesk products. Where as Maya is not far behind having great animation layering, character rigging and motion capture handling capabilities that makes it more competitive to 3D Max.

There are a lot of ways to create your 3d modeling and almost everybody have their own way and technique of creating the same model. In architectural visualization, there are a few modeling types every illustrator needs to master in 3DS Max. These are spline, shapes and meshes, although there are others namely NURBS, patches, they all cater for other industry, but a basic understanding of these modeling techniques will be useful in other parts of your 3d scene. The basic foundation of every 3D scenes are the line works, which are provided by the architects or other design professional, in the form of hand-drawn plans or 2D Autocad drawings.
