what’s better: Maya or 3DS Max

I would like someone who is experienced to tel me which one is better.

I know that anything used is a tool, and you should always use what tool is best for any particular job. But I just want a generalized answer. Overall is Maya better or 3DS Max?

What are the pro’s and con’s of each?

Any info whatsoever would be appreciated.

Are there any similarities between the two programs. If you learn one, is it pretty easy to learn the other?

Inception Ending

Posted in: Gallery

Hey everyone,
Ever since I saw Inception I thought it a challenge to finish the story. I used nuke for the majority which is everything except modeling a spinning top.

Two coffee mugs colliding

Posted in: Maya

Hey everyone,

I have an idea for a FX shot that will have two coffee mugs colliding. You know, say you "cheers" a little too hard and the cups break. What is the best way to go about this?

The cups will have keyframe animation on them so I’m a little confused how to get a dynamic crash simulation in there. Does maya have something built in to accomplish this efect?

I downloaded the blastcode 1.7 demo and the shatter map looks great but I don’t know how to break anything with out the use of some blastcode explosion in the mix…

Any suggestions?

Thanks! PP
