am i missing something? when i search the web for free models the only thing i read is .3ds here .3ds there some .obj there. how come ppl only dare to produce 3ds files that are free? would they think somebody laugh at them to give away maya stuff for free??

are actually more ppl using max ???

oh sure i could use the 3ds import plugin, but i dont want it. i only want to learn one program, and that is maya. and if i am not very much mistaken, maya can do everything max can and more (if it comes to modeling, animating).

right, here on simplymaya i am likely to get biased responses. but anyway, why only 3ds spread all over the web? user added image

that is the problem, i need to learn a lot til my models are good. and dont forget that i have maya for only roughly a month and it is the first 3d program i got. and unfortunately i did not go to school for getting drawing and/or 3d modeling skills.

and i did not talk about this site. this site here is great. it is based on maya. i am not sure about other sites for maya, this was my first try looking for a maya users site. and the fact that i never left to look for another one says a lot about the quality here.

For quite a while, 3DS was a lot cheaper than Maya, so most of the smaller studios, which make up the majority, chose it as their software of choice.

Maya is starting to get more and more accepted, since the major price drop.

yep, thats exactly the reason why companies start with 3Dsmax.. for example Blizzard entertainment... they started with a small studio and a few people.. budget was too low so they bought 3dsmax which was cheaper... and then they started to grow and Blizzard became a big name in the 3D industry... and people tend to know blizzard better and when they knew that blizzard was using 3dsmax they also started to use 3dmax and then it spreads spreads and spreads... but 3DSMax is nowhere near the powers of maya.... well that is the problem why many people dont buy Maya... the pocket slaughtering price... 6999$ for Maya 4 unlimited compared to 500$ for MAX.. user added image

The reason I moved over to Maya in the first place was because there are so many models for max on the net so i didn't have the incentive to learn to maodel because I could just download them

Not being able to download them means you have to make them yourself and improve your skills....so I think it is a good thing that there aren't many models

tolerate, that is a good one. never looked at it from this side. maybe better to make up ideas about modeling something and not using a tut and all houses will look alike (like this cool [insert house tutorial] tut everybody has).
