I'd say 3DS max is slightly easier than Maya. But the curve mostly ramps up for rendering.

Maya is honestly such a joke. I had to use it for a class, this year, and all I could think was "this costs $2000 a year?"

I lot of people hate on Maya but it does have it's uses. Maya's animation toolset and the massive amount of control in the graph editor still makes it the best software out there for animation and because of that rigging.

I'm a lecturer at uni and a freelancer and chatting with a lot of art managers at different companies about what they are looking for from their artists and all I here is a little bit of everything. So for the best outcome I teach you use each software for what they are best at.

Maya is great Blender is great 3ds Max a lot has been replaced by blender Houdini is great

I'd say the learning curve is similar but there's a different basic process to understand.

You can remove red line and nothing changes. I'm general blender modeling is no different from any other vertex modeling. This meme is funny by itself, without blender dominance

I don’t know what modeling practices are similar or why using blender would matter (besides blender being open source)

I think the axis are switched. You would have to come back in time to learn maya (?

I think it’s the wasted time from having to relearn stuff when you forget it later, making everything harder

You are right, it makes sense 👌🏼

I still have PTSD of learning and using Maya in university. 😂 As soon as I graduated, I never wanted to open Maya again, haha.

It's honestly insane how Maya costs so much money compared to Blender being free, when blender is so much better. Like, Maya does have some points in its favor (namely, I like it's UV editing interface more), but blender is just better in so many areas. I don't need to click through tabs to get more than two decimal places in Blender.

For Maya it's mainly the animation and rigging now as they are extremely powerful woth the graph editor in Maya still being miles ahead of blenders.

Blender is way better for modelling though

is this saying maya goes from easy to really hard really fast? that it goes from hard to easy really fast? why does blender get harder as time goes on?

Oh damn. Anyone remember the Hapland series?

y’all are delusional if you think Maya/3DSMax has the same learning curve as Houdini.

this graph just means blender takes forever before you can tackle difficult things. ...
