主题：【原创】3DMAX法拉利跑车Modeling日记（1） -- Slay0r

They both get you the same result, after having years of exposure to both packages professionaly I can say and most agree the modeling tools in Max are far beyond Mayas. I do like the camera controls, Hypergraph, Hypershader of Maya, but I find myself doing several more steps to produce art with Maya.

Max has many awesome modifiers for meshes:

Shell - This creates a 3D shell on faces so you don’t have to model the inside or if you say shattered a clay jar you add this modifier and it creates those faces for you with bevel controls

Sweep - run this on a spline and you have full control of changing the number of sides, shapes etc.. in realtime without having to change the shape and loft on a spline

Edge Connect - This allows multiple connections by numeric input and allows you to slide those connections along a face

Insert - Rather then using extrude in Maya without going on the Z axis this will inset some faces and is seperate from the Extrude tool

All the Polytools have sliders so you can see the results as you change them rather then numeric input (enter) then seeing result

SoftSelection - They recently added this to Maya but I find it’s not nearly as good as the one in Max - allowing fall off effect so you can manipulate multiple verts.edges, faces at a time

Mental Ray Shaders - These are really cool and easy to use

Running UV unwrap - The cylindrical mode will actually detatch from the other side and spread out correctly and Maya it can’t seem to figure this out so it overlaps itself when applying cylindrical mapping to faces

There are Pro’s and cons to each package, but I find I get better faster results in Max despite the camera interface controls that Maya dominates in.
