Cinema 3d

Is Cinema 3d better than 3ds Max? That, photoshop and illustrator are what they used for The Horus Project.

Not better but different; it's cheaper and isn't used as much... I recommend it, especially if you can use bodyshop, the 3d texture painting app that goes with it...

Bodyshop :P

Bodypaint :)

hahahahaha....body shop. 3ds max has 10x the resources on the web than anyother app. And has a firm hold of the gaming industry.

Well if I don't have any knowledge of either one and I wanted to make something cool like the Horus project no matter how long it took which program would you reccommend?

this is more a matter of experience, not the proggy you use, im sure this could be done with swift and psp instead of 3ds and ps.
I recommend c4d because it's an intuitive prog (easy to handle), full of nice capabilites (and a good render engine). But cheaper =)

let the war begin :beam:.......I would have to definately say 3ds max, because they have the best set of modifiers in the industry. I mean you can literally make abstract art in like 15secs. Seriously......Modifiers are the best in max. And that is a complete n00b picking it up for the first time. 15 secs and you can make abstract art.

Being a maya slave myself :P i totally agree with DDD :!:
The modifiers in 3dMax are just amazing and so easy to work with, i could bend , twist and extrude geometry in a matter of seconds!
