Max and cars

1) Max is the most diffused app out there so it's more probable you see some good work done with Max

2) its polytools are great, yes, but mechanical modeling in all honesty doesn't require many tools, 2 or 3 good tools are enough, mechanical modeling is nothing complex, you just have to be precise

3) the default Max renderer is not horrible but if you compare it to C4D's, Lw's and XSI then it's just bad, you absolutely would need a 3rd party renderer to make a top quality job: Vray, finalRender or Brazil, which are all similar to C4D's renderer.

4) i haven't seen so many good cars made in Max, i'd say the best ones so far are Lw's, just check Daniel or Lewis works

odd, I'm not sure of the least max made car that stood out to me, been a few recent C4D ones, a lot of lightwave and a few XSI, but max and maya I can't remeber the last time I've seen a good car using either. Odd too considering all the render artists out there using Vray and brazil you'd think I'd see a lot. maybe I"m jsut not getting out there enough.

in the cgtalk gallery - look how many of those cars are done in max... also this gallery most cars are in Max - http://www.3dm-mc.com/gallery/categories.php?cat_id=1

plus there is this other site where they sell 3d models, and almost every car there is in Max...
anyways, back to my car...
