Thanks Joe - will do

c4d all the way!!!!!!!!!!

ive tried them all and nothing is as intuitive as c4d is. its like i can just turn on c4d and bgin working but with max ill turn it on and sort of look at that frickin daunting screen overjammed with symbols and buttons and it makes me just wanna turn that thing off and goto c4d!
o yea umm i got a question? what pipelines are you guys using? im trying to get my studio up and running i wanna make sure my group is utilizing only timesaving additions
(note:i work on little animation shorts,visual fx and game design)

o yea to answer your question seriously tho,3ds max isnt the most popular it just depends how much those who say so get paid to say it is. remember all companies have to do some dirty business to make their products sound good

This might change some in the not too distant future. C4D seems to have a leg up with it's integration with Adobe's CS3. C4D's UI has always reminded me of Adobe, anyway. I can jump between photoshop and C4D and feel like I've been working in one program instead of two already. That's even more so with V10.1 of C4D and CS3. They almost plug right into one another.
