Autodesk 3ds Max vs. Storyboard That

For print media for marketing and for 3d animations for web spots and TV ads/movies/programs. It is less suited for quick 3d graphics or images that you get from AI image programs, but it is much more powerful than most AI image programs.

If you're trying to quickly create a high volume of simple scenes to communicate an action or scenario, Storyboard That will meet the basic need without requiring a lot of learning time. This software would also likely be a simple solution for anyone who needs scene templates, icons, or other elements. Though I've primarily used Storyboard That for personal use in film projects, I could also see how the stock images might be helpful in my professional role as a Product Manager for creating visuals to illustrate user personas and user stories.

• 3ds Max includes some of the inbuild modifiers which can be very good in the case of beginners.
• 3rd party Rendering support makes 3ds Max a powerful software for rendering out realistic images.
• Autodesk 3ds max in comparison to its rivals is lightweight and fast, also the animation case also.

• Drag & drop interface is quick to learn and simple to use.
• A wide range of prefabricated elements such as scenes, characters, shapes, etc.
• The pricing plans are straightforward for different user segments.

• working in 2d is very frustrating and unreliable. It just lacks the precision
• How scaling affects units (or doesn't) There needs to be a way for modifiers to address a change of scale in the object.
• Booleans are not intuitive. Especially for architecture, creating an opening and putting a door or a window is an incredibly cumbersome process.

• Some of the items have built-in editing capabilities (i.e., changing the sky color in a background), but others can barely be edited, and the distinction isn't apparent.
• The visual style of the site seems dated and "clunky".
• Doesn't integrate with any other programs.
• Poorly optimized for mobile: the options are hard to access, button sizes are inconsistent, etc.
• Some aspects of the site navigation aren't intuitive, like how to exit out of search results.
• No ability to change angles or perspective; everything is completely flat.

It satisfies 95% of my 3d visualization need. The left over 5% is handled by a few other programs. If Max just can't perform a specific task I can do that elsewhere and then bring it back to Max to finish up. But, it's rare that this occurs in my work

It is a very difficult program to learn to use and even harder to use well. But once you get to using it it is a great software package to know how to use. Getting to be good at using it takes lots of use.

Sketch-up week to be vertically integrated to produce concept all the way to high-end render, an animation (effects, particles, soft-body, etc..) All 3 other softwares are fully capable, it just comes down to what software an operator is most familiar with and if it works in the production pipeline for the client.

• 3ds Max has one of the best control tools that can help someone to sculpt almost anything. With the vertex tool and polyline edit function we can create almost any complex geometry.
• Default rendering is equipped with almost everything that is needed for process, V-Ray for 3ds Max is the best 3rd party plugin for getting crisp renders.
• The four view port tools for viewing the model helps from each and every angle. The moment and selection tools in the 3ds Max are quit easy to operate.

• Quick visual communication tool saves time on cross-team planning.
