After using houdini professionally for the last four years, and blender for personal work, I recently switched to Max. Max is king, IMO. It is the best combination of excellent plugins/powerful built in tools, and much more logical and easy to understand compared to houdini. Combine it with VRAY, and it is an incredible workflow compared to most, if not all, other packages. I would say Blender is a not so far off second place, but still not quite as good overall.

Everyone hates on it because of Autodesk... but don't knock it till you try it.

Most movie VFX done in 3ds max was created with FumeFX in combination with Thinking Particles. FumeFX was done for all the smoke and fire and TP was done for destruction. That was the best combo.

Its also time to speak about Prism, the first ever made GPU accelerated fracturing system!
Very interesting video by the way

Thinking particles is the most underrated tool in the world of social networking. It's a far cry from other unproven tools that are exciting the social networking world...

I love MAX and hope it never dies. But unfortunately Autodesk seems hell bent on it. Really hope they keep improving on it, and stop relying on 3rd part plugins to keep it above water.

I would so so love to learn TP but there lies the problem in my opinion... there is just sooo little educational material available for TP and the fact that it costs like 60€ a month is also a big hurdle.
I know they have a learners license but that one is just to heavily restricted in every aspect.
If TP was easier accessable for learners then right now I would certainly be learning TP instead of Houdini...

please make a guerilla render video please

How did Maxon manage to implement such a horribly useless version of “thinking particles” for C4D back in the day?

My message to Autodesk: Don't listen to this hater. He just wants to extort some money from you. Your products are more than wonderful and I have been using them for more than 20 years and I am still a professional and in demand in my field of work that depends on your wonderful products.

No matter how many good movies are made with 3Ds Max, its interface enough for me to hate it! Man, imagine working on a project for hours while looking at that shitty interface.
