EZPZLEMONSQZ 3D Programs? [Help]

What is the easiest 3D modeling program out there to do simple things like making hats for TF2 workshop / Dota 2 workshop or what not

Like Cinema 4D / 3Ds Max / Blender / Autodesk Maya / etc

Not sure if most of MPGH community has even touched a 3D program before /mmz

Help =] ?

My friend used Blender to make his item, but idk

I have, and personally, I have used Cinema 4D. I think it's the most used, you can find many tutorials online on YouTube

I've used Cinema 4D, but only for some particle effects and some studio effects thing. Never actually MODELED in it :x

3ds max is the best. Most plugins available, most widely used by developers, etc. Maya is powerful but it's a bitch. Cinema 4d...just eh. Blender is good if you have the right plugins.

Learning blender right now. I feel like Cinema 4D is more for... "cinemas" xD

3Ds max seems amazing, as most games kinda use it.

Maya is required for more harder stuff I guess. iunno

And what do you mean by plugins?

Like what sort of plugins?

Modeling my first Soda Can in Blender :3

Maya is good for massive projects such as construction of a building/bridge and fine tuning details for diagrams etc. More business like. 3DS Max is my favorite, you can use it for CGI (the final fantasy movie was made using a few other programs but one of them was the older 3ds max), modeling, mapping, well basically everything. Scratch that, you can use 3DS max for EVERYTHING. Even setting up skeletal mesh, animations, bone rendering, and you can export all of these as separate files for video games. The program covers absolutely everything for every game. There's a plugin for everything. By plugins I mean addons that allow you to export these files for whatever you need, there's a fuckload here (maxplugins) and there's a lot of plugins for sale by Autodesk themselves (you can download them cracked of course).
3DS Max is also fairly simple to learn to do the basics, and the advanced features you learn as you go.

Thanks for the info :o

I may as well look into 3Ds Max. Blender I find is somewhat confusing as in a sense of what you can actually DO with it.

For some 3Ds Max tuts, I've seen some interesting thing. Most 3Ds max are about modeling creatures and stuff tehe

For Blender tuts, I've seen some I guess your average thing. Cups / houses / etc

Not sure which has more tutorials, blender or 3Ds Max. I'm kind of debating between these two now.

When you first started 3Ds max, was it easy? Hard? Confusing. I know it may seem probably easy to you or whatever now, but like how was your experience with it?

It was a pain in the dick tehe I started using it back when Halo Custom Edition first came out. I used it to model and make maps and whatnot, every tutorial on everything I know about 3DS Max I learned from youtube tutorials for modding Halo Custom Edition. They have everything from making an SMG, to having Master Chief do a backflip everytime he jumps tehe

There are a lot of shortcuts for it, like you can make a black blob in paint and somehow transfer it to create an entire terrain for a map, modeled out and whatnot in five seconds. I just forget how tehe Once you learn the basics you'll figure the shortcuts out and it makes it so much better to use than any other 3d program out there /gewd

CryEngine is the Crysis gaming Engine. Completely separate from 3DS Max. 3DS Max is specific for model building, animation, mapping, bone and hotbox designation, etc. you use it to map out everything you see 3D wise ingame.

Dreamscape is a set of plugins that help you render EXTREMELY realistic models and shit tehe
