So, my friends and I are thinking of buying Entertainment Creation Suite Ultimate 2014 to create games using Unity. The suite includes 3DS Max, Maya, Motionbuilder, Softimage, Mudbox, and Sketchbook Pro and Designer.
We are newbies and we have a lot of questions to ask.
- What kind of modeling is 3DS Max and Maya good at? Is 3DS Max better at the game environment and Maya better at the characters?
- Which kind of animation is Maya and Motionbuilder good at? Can 3DS Max also make animation? If so, what kind?
- Where is Softimage used in game? Is it for modeling, animation and effects? If so, what kind of modeling and animation is it good at?
- Is Mudbox only used for sculpting?
- What is the difference between Sketchbook Pro and Sketchbook Designer? I've seen that the Sketchbook Designer's website has stopped working. What are the functions of these two programs? Is it similar to Adobe Photoshop?
I know there is a lot of questions. It would be very thankful if you senior members in the forum can reply. Thanks!
