I Hate Maya

#24826 posted by ijed on 2014/09/29 02:28:56

It always takes me ten minutes to find the button I need.

We had a mandated switch over to Maya in the office (from Max) and it's impacted all our dev time across the board and continues to do so over two years later.

The artists have now forgotten how to use Max, but still haven't been able to learn the Maya interface to the same proficiency they had.

Awesome. Best of both worlds!

Yep

Whoever sold that handful of magic beans (A collection of supposedly professional softwares no developer in their right mind would choose by option) must be pretty happy with themselves.

All the artists? Making environment and prop artists use Maya is just ... mean.

Yeah

For animation it makes sense, at least.

Oh Lawd

I model in maya, but whenever I've tried max I have the same feeling of not being able to find the button. Maya feels far more organized to me.

What am I missing?

Nothing

Both are ok, it's just hard to switch from one to the other.
Maya is a bit friendlier to more technical artists, while Max's modeling tools are a bit more complete.
I prefer Maya now, but I've customized it quite a bit, in some aspects I've made it feel more like Max even.

Both seem quite convoluted in the UI department to me.

"What am I missing? "

Muscle memory. :) Seriously, all apps do about the same stuff it's just in different locations.

I'm a MODO guy, myself...

TFW you compile something and the compiler decides it needs to check out 806 files, even though it only modifies 3 of them, and then goes ahead and checks them out one at a time, each operation taking a second, the actual compile takes 15 seconds.

is that feeling 'so bored you go post on func'

I Was Going To Put It On Facebook First.

But then I realized I'd get about zero likes so it might as well go here.
