Community Opinion Max vs Maya

Just out of curiosity, what is your preference. I know blender is an option but this is for the autodesk users. what do you prefer and why for your game development.

(I am asking because I hear maya is becoming just as good or better for game dev so I am trying to get opinions)

I’m actually going to close this now—the question has been asked before about 3D software, in general you can test it out yourself and see which you like better. In the industry Maya/Max are the most used and you can’t really go wrong with either. Some people prefer Blender, but that can be a problem if you want to get a studio job.

Why would you close it? I am trying to find out what the community uses. there is some people I respect a good bit on here so I want to hear about there personal preference and choice.

Well, each has different uses, so the opinions of others shouldn’t be how you decide, that is just like asking about Adobe Photoshop vs Adobe Fireworks, each has their own use and purpose.

Just go with Maya. All I ever hear most people talk about is Maya, so in the long run it’s what you’d wanna master.

Because there’s already threads opened on this topic: If you had to choose...[3DS or Maya?] - Community & Industry Discussion - Epic Developer Community Forums

and generally people get into arguments on the subject of comparing software
