Shaner - well said.
In terms of comparing the two purely on features alone, I'd say its a question of value for money. Personally I'd have to say that Maya wins hands down. |

MAYA's advantages
Maya is cheaper than other packages like Studio Max Maya has limitless expandability and custom capabilities Maya has an Award winning UI (the best in the business) Maya has an Award winning work flow management system Maya is complete out of the box, no robust plug-in or add on package upgrades are needed like with Studio Max. Maya's talent pool is the biggest in the industry. It currently holds 50% of the market and is gaining each year. The other 5 big 3D applications share the other half of the market. www.3drender.com/jobs/jobcount.htm Maya has faster project load times than other 3D programs Maya is more stable than the competition |

Max and maya | ||

Oh, and Maya's marketing is is sooooo much better. In fact, I think that's where they spend all their money and resources.

Who said that Maya is cheaper than other 3d packages. Its really really expensive than other packages. But, I bet it worth while to buy Maya since it has enormus features than other packages. It deals with bringing realism. My buddies, working for hollywood movies are employed for the reason they are Mayans. (Maya users). One of my buddy, who walked in a company for job who is only a max user, (ofcourse, he is damn good in Max) didn't get job in that company but he got the advice from the existing crews of that company to learn Maya. Almost everyyyyyyyyyy movies (Jurassic park to pirates of the caribean, till Matrix trilogy) are done with maya, sometimes they use both Maya and XSI (HULK)quiet a bit and motion builder for mocap. But, Max, is used fulltime for developing games like Max payne etc since games deals with low polygon models. Max is also good, but not at the level of Maya. Maya rules. I am also a Max user, but I am learning maya as well. I was amazed to see the smoothness of Maya's tools. Great.

I'm looking into purchasing a Mac G5 and wanna run Maya on it. Problem is Maya only makes Maya Complete for it and not Maya Unlimited. Does anyone have any thoughts on this...Is it better to get the G5 and run complete or rather get a PC with unlimited with much slower speed etc...personally, I think Macs are great and have less "issues" in general and the new dual processor G5 creams the competition speed wise...Any thoughts her gentlemen?

mac vs pc w/ maya | ||
|
I like macs but I gotta recommend a top of the line PC on this one. I can't make a recommendation on the cmplt vs unlmtd issue because your needs may be different than mine. But I recommend a PC based purely on cost (the benchmarks between a G5 and amd64 fx51 are debatable). I don't understand why someone would be willing to pay 3 times as much for half the performance. PCs are dirt cheap and are actually more customizable than macs.

How about linux? | ||
|
64 bit linux Linux systems runing on the AMD 64 fx51 will completly blow away any MAC on Winblows PC that dare compare.
When you weigh in the fact that it is basicaly free... well... |

max v maya | ||
|
well i started on max and will always have a soft spot for max and yes it is very powerful and I was very reluctant to start on maya but the first time i opened it i felt power that was never there before so im gonna have to say that maya kills all .
I love max but maya is just an amazing monster . |

mac n maya | ||
|
look mac is a machine that is pretty to look at and is very good for photoshop but maya belongs on a pc because a pc has that pure power to run it to its full.So its up to you power or looks.
