Looks like so good..... but, why I am not so excited?
In this version's features, is really useful for production pipeline? Looks like reducing 3DsMax scope. Is this a 3D animation software?
Actually, I am really disappointed for Autodesk. They have an attitude problem. Another software companies are better than it....



3Ds Max Design 2010 發表了。基本上還只是部份的發表,而且只針對Design版本。

老實說,看過之後實在沒有多大的興奮....我實在不知道在一個專業的生產流程上,這樣的即時顯示會有多大的加分(就像是Mudbox2009中的DOF功能)?而事實上,在裡面也說了,光這樣的場景開啟這些即時效果後速率也因此下降了。

而老實說面對這樣的現象我們可以自己問問自己:

有沒有可能交給客戶的最終成品是用這樣的方式完成?

如果可以,那麼這個改進就有很大的優勢;如果沒有,則到頭來我們還是要Render出最終成品,這樣的改進到底意義多大?

即時顯示有其優勢與幫助,這是無庸置疑的,可是也要看是定位在哪。像是HyperShot或Holomatix這類軟體就很清楚地定位在專門即時預覽產品結果,這很清楚也很合適。但是,3DsMax本來是定位成3D動畫製作軟體,現在再看看它的樣子,實在是....

自從Maya被收購後也是整個擺爛到極點,現在XSI也被收購,實在是不敢想像未來的樣子....這些都是過去強大又受歡迎的主流軟體耶!Autodesk是優秀軟體殺手嗎?

總之我對Autodesk這家公司實在是愈來愈沒好感,整個就是財大氣粗、不負責任,也不想想他們的任一套軟體都收費多少啊?反之一些獨立公司的軟體,甚至是免費軟體都要比Autodesk公司要來的好。

有的時候,是態度的問題。
