Gmax or 3dmax

[topochico12 0]

 I have the Gamx which is free and hard to use but I heard about the 3dmax I don't know if its free and someone said it was more easy to use      So the 3dmax is free or not

 

I also heard that the Rendering thing works much better I mean I use the BAT exporting and i cant do anything I just have to wait or watch TV If I move the Mouse it crashes and The 3dmax maybe you can pause the Rendering and continue the next day I don't know

 Please answer

It is diffinitely not free, last I heard it was somewhere between 4 to 6 thousand USD.

I have it, its more like 4 thousand. Its a much better program. Like the differance between paint and photoshop. I dont think the BAT supports it though....

You can get a BAT for it but the programme costs about

I have 3ds max 7 and the bat will not read the program. It only wants gmax and I have not found anything to change that. Just keep with gmax for simcity thats all you need right now, plus the other program is very expensive.

Personally, I have never heard anything that you are talking about in 3DSMAX, but then again, I haven't bothered to listen for it either.  I know that it is incredibly more powerful than gmax, but I think that its sheer price is going to be its deterant.

There is a BAT MOD for 3Ds in one of the forums, you can probably find it in one of the BAT threads.

Just stick with Gmax (thats complicated enougth),  3D Max is really only for full blown game designers.

I am quite fully-blown with 3D design. But I do not assume that the BAT tool is compatible with 3dsMax.
