Blender vs Maya - What should YOU use?

My first somehow decent productions have been done in Maya because that's what I've been taught at school. I've never really liked it, but people kept telling me: "hey, that's what real pros use!" So when I started my modest freelance activity and my free student license expired, I had to decide what tools to buy. I downloaded a 30 days trial of C4D, and it felt much more tidy and pleasant to use than Maya (not mentioning Max...). So I've put all my savings into a full studio license. Then, less than two years later, Blender 2.8 came out, and it was love at first sight. I've been such a fanboy ever since. I love the program, but even more than that, I'm so proud of being part of the community that backs it. I now donate part of my income to the Blender foundation, and I did a little bit of coding that ended up in the official release of Blender. It's hard to describe, but Blender makes me love the job more than any other tool or community in the industry.

Thank you for this video, You mentioned SideFX Houdini but didn't dwell on it

Hi
Please help me!
I am working on car design and modeling in Maya software, but I want to expand my work and go to VFX, UV and other things...
But I still need to learn, and unfortunately, Maya tutorials on the Internet are much less than Blender... Please tell me your opinion, should I switch to Blender or should I continue with Maya?

Ton Roosendaal said in an interview,
Blender is built from scratch, after version 2.5 it was completely redone with every line of code having a million lines of code to be able to make the 2010 movie "SIntel".
Blender is not a corporation, it is a program created by artists and used by those artists to create movies. They see very well what the problems are and what they need to add in Blender.

All the tools in Blender are made from scratch with the help of developers from all over the world.

A company, on the other hand, does not waste time with such a thing. When Maya developers fail to create a good tool, they buy it from others ready-made and add it to Maya.

While in the Blender team they struggle until they succeed.

Now below I will tell you what I think, Ton Roosendaal did NOT say what is written below:

I bet the big companies are still studying Blender's source code to see how it works and never finish analyzing it until an even better, more powerful, more tooled version is released.

Maya developers were stuck parsing Blender's EEVEE real-time rendering engine.

Just get Maya Indie --- 290 per year covers MANY countries!

Most jobs ask for Maya experience...
If you use blender, please dabble with Maya

which better in sculpting Maya or blender?

get crack softwere

Refunded 3ds Max now, it does not like millions of polygons or my setup or both. I now send my Fusion360 high poly meshes as obj to Blender to unlink. Then to Houdini as fbx, use polyreduce and UV nodes. Then back to Blender to render. Whole process for a 4 million poly 7 piece Colt45 now takes 1 hour.

Cool video. WIll be saving it to favourites

Bro which is easy to use and fast to make animation in both of them plz reply

Honestly this p2w model works better than adobes $50/month plan when I'm a hobbiest memer

Day 2 of Max and refunded, just too much of a 2010 feel. Much prefer the Zbrush/3DCoat/Blender/ SP workflow using AppLink/GoB.

Just got 3ds Max indie and working through tutorials. Houdini license to about to expire, so trying Max. I'm learning Architecture visualization to Max seems the tool to learn for now. But for rigging Blender is just so much faster than Maya for me. Also Houdini digital assets are a huge time saver, Learning curve is steep though

this channel is underrated

For studios it's just they need time to test blender and see how it would work in there pipeline.
Mostly they're doing this with small teams or if they can a child studio

lol at the intro. Pretty funny how they still haven't learned that making it a shitter experience ONLY FOR THE PAYING CUSTOMERS will just lead to piracy / migration to competition.
