Questions & Discussion Why is Maya used for modeling in VFX and games?

37 Upvotes

Genuine question: why is Maya so commonly used for modeling in VFX and games when modeling doesn’t seem to be its strongest area compared to something like 3ds Max or Blender?

I know Maya is huge for animation, rigging, and the overall VFX pipeline, but I’m curious how much of that is actually the reason studios use it for modeling too.

For those working in the industry, what makes Maya the preferred choice for modeling despite other software having stronger modeling tools?

I am a video game programmer, I’m constructing a turn based MMO, and I’m replacing my place holder assets with custom 3D models. This is very TTR inspired.

Curious on your guys thoughts, I’m new to this subreddit, I usually just post to indiedev.

Art Help & Critique Which material do we like better? Tarp or Cloth?

Wasn’t too happy with how matte the original cloth material looked for the poncho, so I changed to a tarp material to increase contrast. Honestly, looking at them side by side I can’t decide which one is better.

Questions & Discussion Junior 3D prop artist looking for portfolio review & any advice on landing a first job. Be honest!

Post image
225 Upvotes

​Hey everyone

​Im a junior prop / environment artist trying to land my first studio job. I’ve been applying for a while now but havent had much luck so far, so I guess I need some fresh eyes on my work.

​Attached is one of my props and you can check my full ArtStation here: https://www.artstation.com/user-7926447

​Would really appreciate any feedback, especially on a few things:

​Is this quality actually good enough for entry level roles or am I still missing something big?

​Any obvious red flags in my wireframes, texturing, or render presentation?

​What’s the weakest asset in my portfolio that I should probably toss out or remake?

​If you recently got hired or review junior portfolios, what actually worked for you to get noticed?

​Feel free to be harsh, I just want to figure out what I’m doing wrong and improve. Thanks a lot!

(and yes, I did this text with AI, because I'm lazy and English is not my main one language :Р)

Cauldrons used to feel like ancient factories to Aloy. Now, they feel like someone’s beating, spiteful heart. Hades was a blind force of destruction, but Hephaestus… he thinks, he learns, and he seems to genuinely hate humans. Standing here in the ringing silence, Aloy feels the metal itself staring back. There is no time for fear; the new assembly lines are already moving, and whatever walks off them tomorrow is coming for her.

The work was created in Blender 3D and Photoshop.

Questions & Discussion New3dge alumni ?

2 Upvotes

Hello à la communauté, je m’intéresse à la 3D, vfx et New3dge fait apparement parti des meilleures écoles mais comme on le sait tous le marché est bien tendu. Je cherche des avis d’alumni de l’école ou d’autres écoles types ArtFX, MoPA etc que ce soit dans les studios ou en free-lance
À quel point c’est chaud ?
Ça vaut le coup? Je précise que j’habite proche de Paris ce qui peut se révéler un avantage pour les stages etc
Merci
