3D & Animation 3DS max or Maya?
- Thread starter Appleyard
- Start date
I prefer 3dmax myself, but other than softimage, its the only program I worked with. Though getting Maya PLE is the most economical way to go (or gmax... though I never used it) being free and all... you cant lose out.
And you should be able to find ut2004 for a cheap price nowadays... (that is if they still carry it in store's...)
A shame installing the SDK currently prevents from RO:O from running... but hopefully the team will resolve that issue... would like to get into creating static meshes and such for mapping purposes.

Try amazon. I got a copy (Editors Choice w/ all the tuts for vehicles and importing and crud) for like $15 usd instead of $30... If you just want regular UT2k4, you could probly get it for , eh, $15 bucks and less... This is, of course, Amazon.com, no .co.uk or whatever....
Good hunting!

erm, you are aware that the Maya version that comes with the Special Edition of UT2k4 is PLE 5.0? I think you can get PLE 7.0 off the alias website. (with the same problem with the export though)

As far as modding and mapping RO goes...
Max=Modeling/Mapping and maybe animation
Maya=Animation Rendering and everything else

The only difference is in the ease of exporting your models into Ostfront. The ActorX plug-in does not work for PLE so you have to use the UT2K4 plug-in, export your models into UEd (for UT2K4), save them as a new package, and move that package into the Ostfront folder. This could be a problem if you do not have UEd. The only other differences between PLE and the full version are tiny features that you will never need to use.

Oh and another BIG Dif between the two is that Maya has MELscripting.

I just took an hour dling and installing Maya only to have it open with an error everytime. Turns out it doesnt work on Windows XP home edition. Call me an idiot for not knowing that beforehand but what kind of retarded program doesnt run on XP home. Not only that but why cant these ****ing programs cleanly uninstall. They leave you with multiple folders of bull**** that you have to manually delete. When I hit uninstall I expect it to get rid of everything. I dont need that bull**** left behind.
I got Blender instead. Its open source and got alot of praise. Seems like its the Gimp of 3d modelling (Gimp is an open-source image editing program which, imo, is, in most aspects, just as good as Photoshop plus it has more features).

Now that's weird... which version of Maya did you DL? I've run multiple versions on my laptop, which has XP home on it.

PLE 7. Maybe it actually does run on home but I got the error and googled it and searched their forums with no result. Then I saw a list of supported OS's and XP Professional was listed but not Home so i just figured that was the problem.
