Uhm, is Maya still a thing?
I see amazing stuff coming from the Blender devs and community all the time but hardly anything new in Maya since years.
- you probably see Maya stuff in all kinds of TV series CGI all the timegrafician
- Yes no shit. But in past few years I just hear about Houdini and Blender mostly.NBQ00
- I think Maya is still the industry standard at present. A bit like Photoshop. Everyone is expected to know it.monNom
- And all the custom tooling and pipelines are built around it. But AFAIK, most use specialized external software for modelling, sculpting, texturing, simulationmonNom
- etc. Because Maya's tools haven't kept up. Development of Maya seems to have stalled (similar to Photoshop). I don't think it's a priority for Autodesk.monNom
- There's probably more money to go after with a new product than one that everyone uses already.monNom
- Blender, IMO isn't directly competing with Maya. It's 'good enough' and getting better fast, and building a much broader user base along with it.monNom
- Autodesk the Adobe of 3D...grafician
- It's the very definition of disruptive innovation.
