Max, but because it will show how much AD don't care about customers but
only about money and profit...
There are A LOT of people currently using Max, so there is a big difference
between forcing a relative small amount of
The blogger has a really distorted perspective on market, apps and
qualities. There's a distinct fanboi smell to the article.
I don't think MAX will be terminated in the next couple years, but if I had
to bet money, I'd gladly put it on it being massively requalified for viz,
and maybe, just
I agree with your Max view,
Let's remember that is their core audience, architecture and engineering so
killing the software that complements the key product in such a way would be
foolish.
A different story is that they keep putting VFX goodies on it… that may be very
possible..

Will Autodesk kill Max is not too hard to answer as lessons learned from the
past. No speculation there. Big question is where would be the user
transitioning !
I don't think Max offers any unique advantage for arch viz or games. All can be
done anywhere else and in my opinion, more
Game-wise a lot of companies use Max together with Zbrush, and lots of
developers during the last couple of years released their own plugins for
Max to cooperate with their engineregarding archviz...I saw lots of
studios adopting Max mainly because of Vray...

done anywhere else and in my opinion, more efficiently.
As much as I'd want that to be true I need to disagree: Max still is hands down
the single most efficient application for ArchViz. It comes with a ton of

This company is profit driven, the signs are already out there, I could
come up with arguments for each possibility, the thing is, it depends
really on Autodesk plans, imho...

This company is profit driven
Like any other company, and it makes more money out of 3Dsmax than Maya. A
lot more.
So no, It will not die. It's a bit like a zombie ;)

From the outside I couldn't tell which ones makes more money. Just out of
curiosity: Do you have any concrete numbers?

Can I ask what are your sources?
If that is true. I didn't have idea. I always perceived the market (games,
tv, movies) heavily Maya oriented.

I don't think a survey like that one truly reveals the market situation. In
fact I don't think that info is reliable at all. It only tells you that
more max users frequent that portal (a portal that seems down since 2013).
I doubt any 3d company is taking part in those portal surveys, and they
It comes with a ton of import options, great and fast Spline editing
features, good enough proceduralism.
Softimage has all of that. So does others like Maya, Modo, Houdini,
Blender, C4D etc.
As for VRay and Readymade assets I agree, but these are third party stuff
not shipped with Max. So I
Well I meant very profit driven, I don't see similar behaviours in
companies like Newtek , Side Effects, even Foundry...

Soft had about a tenth of the user base and was facing a market overlap
with Maya of nearly 100%. Max has utter dominance in viz and a clear
distinction in market and user base, and an obvious waning phase elsewhere.
Soft was a product the patent company didn't understand or know how to
manage,

felt almost as comfortable as in Max, and it was still not there, let alone raw

Max is to big to kill, even for Autodesk. It's the beaten-up, forgotten hen

success), and make Max the 3D solution for their Archvis and CAD
True. I know there has been the rare oddball doing Archvis/design with Maya,
and few souls would endure such a test. Max is still the king when it comes to
managing CAD data and being able to use more artist-friendly workflows on it to
deliver visual imagery.

The most interesting (read: the only interesting) aspect of this blog
post to me was that it was published on the official Digital Tutors blog.
One would have expected them to shy away from a subject like that,
seeing that Autodesk is probably their main business partner.

Good point Leendert, i wonder if this is due to there own customer base
asking questions or if someone had a little too much to drink last night
and decided to hit the forums :P

almost assured, so yea archviz remains the big question mark, sure wish we

The sweet irony of flogging a striped down maya to indi developers for 30
squids a month, is not lost on me.
You've effectively taken a pipline tool, notorious for its unfriendliness
and high maintenance requirement, and lobed it at teams of between 2 and 8
artists. maya isn't exactly a get up

From an ME perspective Max is on the way out, its very telling when
schools start to switch from it to maya. game studios as well. AD's
complete lack of interest in keeping it afloat in these areas as observed
at this point, the issue of platform agnosticism as the article mentions.
