Someone please fix 3d software. Max is 15 years old and Maya is close to that. Any new 3d software that makes things simpler and faster like Sketchup is a major improvement. I'm a 3d artist at a video game company and using Max feels like I'm in a wrestling match. I have to beat through Max's buggy tools and antique UI to make it do what I want.
- aristus 16y agoIt's not new. I saw Sketchup demonstrated at SIGGRAPH 12 or 13 years ago, when I first heard about Maya too. At the time I thought Sketchup-style UI would take over the industry. Possibly it hasn't because of this: http://www.google.com/patents?vid=6628279 http://www.google.com/patents?vid=6628279
- colanderman 16y agoHow is there no prior art for that? I thought extrusion was a concept that had been around since the dawn of 3D modeling.
- JabavuAdams 16y agoDidn't Canoma and other photo-modeling packages do this? I did some experiments in going directly from concept sketch to textured level geometry using photogrammetry software, some years ago.
