Not funny, sounds like spam to me also. Keep that sort of "patriotism" to the respective app forums :shame:

twilight and others, if you dont like max dont use it, so simple go with lightwave or maya...or go and code a bug free 3d app...:scream:

got to give him some points though. MAX is fairly expensive compared to other packages, still has many bugs, lacks many features that other cheaper application has for less the price.
And to get same results as other packages, you end up buying so many plugins that adds allot to the cost.

I have been a MAX user for a while, and I am looking in changing packages.
I like MAX, and I would like it even more if they would change their whole attitude, but in this fast evolving technological leap of application, you got be cutting edge.
However nowadays no-one is restricted in spending so much cash to be cutting edge. Everyone has options, and you don't need to be a genius to see which options are better.

I hope this doesn't offend annyone, cause this is not coming from someone that's using another package.


cheers,

Greg

@twilight

I know you were trying to be funny, but I have a feeling that MAX users are tired of being tagged as a bunch of warez users using a subpar program. I know I am.

Maybe I just need more coffee, because I didn't think it was very entertaining.

Ok... i understand that...
That wasn't my point at all. Just a simple joke.
I used 3ds since version 1 for dos, then 3dsmax...
It has its ups and downs like every app, although discreet could be a little less arrogant.

Anyway, i'm not starting a 3dsmax/discreet versus whatever war or trying to hurt anyone's feelings here... it was a joke and only that.

Too bad people always get offended with this kind of subject...
Maybe that's why discreet (and others) keep selling software with so many bugs, people will defend it instead of complaining...

Sorry if i offended anyone, it wasn't my intention.

I really wouldn't say that Max is any more or less buggy than any other application on the market when it is first released, this includes many of the 3D applications that Max competes with. So don't assume that the grass is greener on the other side.

As it has been previously stated numerous times, most "bugs" that people encounter are either problems with the users hardware, driver conflicts or problems, or user error. Now I am not stating that this is the fact all the time, but most of the time when these so called "bugs" are looked into, this is the case.

If you think that you have found a "bug" then you should thoroughly document it and submit it into Discreet for verification. There are numerous sites that talk about how to do proper bug submissions (www.bugzilla.org is one good example) which I recommend that people read before submitting any possible bug that you think that you have found to the developer. Sitting here and bitching about it either directly or indirectly (ie. through a joke) doesn't help anyone.

In the aspect of software development, as I said before no application is bug free, especially not in its first release. This is a simple fact. In regards to whether or not Discreet is doing anything about these "bugs" they do do a very thorough job of looking into each submission of a possible bug report. If the problem actually is a bug then it is added to their bug list with a priority. From there the bug will be dealt with based on priority, resources, and focus (standard software development practices).

As for the softwares precieved inability feature-wise, I think that its a BS statement, Max is very feature complete and that's all that needs to be said.

As for its pricing, I would personally rather see Discreet around to continue to make software than down the toilet in a year or two. Maxes "higher end" pricing and so called "lack of features" hasn't hurt Max's bottom line, in fact it grew, so obviously they are doing something right in this turbulent time.

rarely do you hear 'traditional' artists so fixated on their tools [heh he said 'tools']

i mean, when i did a lot of marker renderings, sure each guy had his or her fave brand. but each crit didnt focus on 'oh, you use berol prismacolors so the fine tip doesnt allow enough bleedage and therefore your rendering sucks'. in fact, what marker brand you used was never even mentioned. instead, the focus was the actual rendering itslef, ie, the artisitic quality of the work.

read a history of rembrandt or ramblings by van gogh - these guys knew what paints they liked to use and discussed it but its wasnt their fixation.

unlike some ppl in 3d!!

i agree tools are important, but really, really secondary compared to the talent of the artist and how far they go in terms of realizing their talents potential

on a sidenote, i had a realization: sometimes if a prog crashes with complex setups, it forces you to use simpler setups. this is actually not too bad

Good reason to post here then :rolleyes:

Wise words, Megaflaizer, I enjoyed that. Its like a quote I used to have on another forum. I wrote it myself, but I guess its one of those obvious things that "have always existed" maybe?

3D Application matters not! On the artist, the results depend, hmmm

That gives me a good idea for a sig :D
