3D effect...

Post by gameboy12615 » Thu Sep 27, 2007 1:08 pm

athough I'm using AE now,but it really hard to make complex 3D effects...
I wonder MAYA and 3DMAX which would be better...seems the camera track of MAYA can be took into AE...and how a bout 3DMAX?
(I'm sorry if I wrote strange english...)

Yes, AE is not really designed for 3d work, it simply has some very basic 3d abilities. For anything beyond that, you definitely want to try an actual 3d app.

He's not talking about a program called 3dApp... he's saying "a 3d application" - the ones you mentioned (Maya and 3d studio max) are examples of 3d applications.

Don't listen to these guys. They just don't want you finding out about the most advanced 3D software ever created: ADOBE AFTER EFFECTS. You ever heard of a little thing called "The Matrix?" I made that. Completely in After Effects. The Wachowski Bros.? Total pretense. They don't exist. It's all right here, baby. Spread the wealth and spread the love! After Effects roxx! 8-)

Man, no wonder that film sucked so much arse :P

I personally like 3ds Max over Maya, but I hear Maya is more commonly used in the animation industry, whereas 3ds Max is more used for 3d Modeling.

I´ve seen two years ago 3DMax in action. A friend of mine showed me some stuff. It´s really impressive how he dealed with simulated physics or an awesome plugIn for fire fx. It looked awesome. I really don´t know if you can really need it for amvs.

3D Studio Max and Maya are practically the same, just with different interfaces, you'll find that learning one will help you be familiar with the other, this is from experience using both of them. You'll also find that when searching for a job, descriptions will say 'knowledge of' either one of them.

gameboy12615, you also might want to look at XSI. It's often used for video game modding, but you can also use it for movies.

The mod tool is free and simple to use.
