Who the heck would they go with instead? I love 3ds Max 2011!

iNcRiMiNaTi5473d ago (Edited 5473d ago )

3ds Max is cool but i prefer Maya and Zbrush only because I'm used to the interface better

Timesplitter145473d ago

You're right. I think ZBrush is even more used than Mudbox

Unbiased15473d ago

yeah i also like that thing...

The Lazy One5473d ago

Maya is made by autodesk too. They're phasing it into a single product soon.

Zbrush is a sculpting and painting tool and isn't that great for animation or model optimizing.

The Lazy One5473d ago

BLENDEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRR

I think it would be awesome if a AAA studio used it just because it would be awesomely hilarious to pull off something great with an open source product.

The real killer5473d ago

Is Remedy buy out by Microsoft? it looks like it.
Alan Wake is a great game, but it did not acrhieve the goal what they hope so and still develop for the 360.

Yes, it looks like MS give Remedy allot of money again.

jay25473d ago

No, Remedy is still indipentant, MS just funded A.W, that's why it wasn't Multi-format.

ExitToExisT5473d ago

well of course they'll use 3ds max. only maya is an option and 3ds max is better

jerethdagryphon5473d ago

autodesk owns 3ds
these days i mean in the finacial sense

the only other options are cinema4d and ......cant thing clearly

Timesplitter145473d ago (Edited 5473d ago )

That's not really big news. 3DS Max is the most used 3D modeling package in the video games and movie industry, but ESPECIALLY in the videogames industry.

Maya (which is also from Autodesk) has a fair share and Lightwave is used in some japanese studios, but that's about it.

I personally use Blender for my own game project because it can do just about anything 3DS Max can do as far as game models are concerned, and I also think 3500$ is quite a revolting price tag when you can have almost the same thing for free.

Unicron5473d ago

Weird, from my experience more people use Maya.

Kind of a goody story...

On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.

gigoran8440d ago

wait, that place is real? national lampoon wasn't kidding?

Tacoboto439d ago

I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.

I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them

Knightofelemia440d ago

Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.

Chocoburger440d ago

Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.

Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.

Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄

Rynxie440d ago

Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.

Profchaos440d ago

So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.

I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.

Rynxie440d ago

No, most likely to resell. However, she ended up getting screwed.

Asplundh440d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.

A thermos is upending the Alan Wake community

Remedy has Alan Wake merch on sale, including a pretty blue thermos. Unfortunately, things haven’t gone according to plan, and many players who want a thermos find themselves without one, though it does appear that Remedy is attempting to fix things. Nevertheless, it has resulted in a lot of upset, illustrating just how much the thermos means to Alan Wake fans.
