- >>Lightwave is Better than 3DS
-
- I've read many pppinons pro and contra of both o packages, quite
- interesting sometimes. I personally wouldn't say which is better,
- frankly I don't like both of them. I'd like to attract your
- appinion to following point:
-
- Not big secrete that in Russia and in East Europe contries level of
- software piracy is very high. I may say that 90% of software is
- illegal. As well 3D artists, designers in those countries aren't so
- reach to buy too expencive hardware. But now I'm talking not about
- piracy itself but about matter of fact that here we have pure
- noncommercial competition of software packages, because those
- people are making their choice on basis of quality, functionality
- and performance of software but not on basis of advertisment and
- budget (at least in software part). So, being curious I've checked
- out which 3D package is preferable by russian 3D-makers. Guess what?
-
- It is 3D Studio, but not Lightwave, or TrueSpace (which is just crap
- by their oppinion) or whatever. Some guys told mne that they tested
- up to ten different packages and sticked to 3DS. I think it is quite
- independent oppinion, because they still having all of them but using
- 3DS only and in rare cases something exotic like VistaPro to generate
- landscapes, or povrender to produce really good raytraced images. I
- know company which has few SGI stations with Alias, but even they
- prefere 3DS sometimes.
-
- That's it and we ahve to face it do we like or not.
