Yeah, that's cool Maya gets Bifrost and Max gets more fucking stereo cameras because we all get asked to make 3D stereo images all day!

Oh, Maya gets Alembic... we get - oh wait - Maya also gets the manipulator planes from 3ds Max... haha! OK we get the hint guys - you only wanna be developing for one platform from now on and that has to be Maya.

Cool - message understood loud and clear!

Looks like a great Maya release!

let me go grab my popcorn and take a seat for the show

Lots more videos on Youtube.

Fantastic Maya release!

Max... not so much. (except for python support)

Did Maya get the Quad chamfer?

In the modeling video they made mention of a new non-destructive bevel algorithm, so I think so.

maya got some good updates

I am probably the biggest 3ds max fanboy here....

But today I want to switch to Maya. The giant Autodesk just kicked my butt today and told me: "hey stop using 3ds max kid, all the top notch technology is going to maya, that's what I decided!"

Even all my favorite plugins they are all doing a version for maya too.

Or maybe tomorrow when the dust will settle, I will remmeber tools like RPManager, and the best implementation of VRAY (that seems to be poorer in maya) I will get back to my fist love...

but for the future, it seems the gods have decided that maya will rule them all!

As a max user I have to say the Maya release looks really good this year.

Alias wins, Autodesk looses. Woopy. Finally Max has correct chamfors. I prefer the flexibility of C4d Python integration, but miss Max much.

A good look at the current state of Bifrost here.

Not so bad Maya upgrade, I was excepting a bit more of bifrost, which at its current incarnation just has basic fluid sims, just to get something going there... But then I looked at Max's new features and- well maybe I just should shut up.

Really folks if you are into vfx, Houdini kicks everyones ass to the moon.
