HSovieticus Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) I can't compare it to other 3d programs, as I have only used blender, but I can compare to other types of programs, and I actually do like the UI. But I am more concerned about the features and tools, compatibility, and ease of use. So maybe I will download the 3ds Max trial and see for myself. I've heard of a program called Zbrush, but I don't quite understand it. What can you guys tell me about it? I'm also wondering, which version of max should I use with nif tools? I look for the latest version of max niftools, I see that the newest one has 2011 in the filename, so I assume it works with max 11. But it is a rather small file, and 2011 just started, so I wonder how well it works. Not sure about the 2nd newest version. Elder Scrolls Construction Set Wiki says that the max niftools works with max 9 at the latest. So I assume the 2nd newest version of max niftools is for max 9. Correct?

XsveyX Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Dealing with the NIF tools with Max, I have Max 2011 and the NIF tools don't really work at all. Everything's installed correctly, they just don't work, so with 2011 you'll go back and forth with Nifskope and Max. I haven't tried the 09 version with the NIF tools, so I couldn't say but, one would assume if the wiki says it works, it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
