I’m kind of fed up with Autodesk. Obviously I want to keep using Vray but I’m seriously looking at alternatives to 3ds max for modeling. I noticed that there are Vray versions for Sketchup and Rhino, both programs have good reputation for archviz as it seems. Did anyone made the switch from 3ds m…

We will need a big boat ! I’m sick of autodesk and I start to think about another solution.. I would like to use Blender/Vray but I have not enough feedback about this workflow. I’m interested in any others solutions that could get away from Autodesk… Anyway, it would be interesting to know if …

It has been said many times before, but it all started to go wrong with 3ds max when they started on the annual release cycle. That’s when it started getting really buggy again and each new release had very few useful new features and was all about fixing the cock ups from the previous release (or n…

Some more votes for Vray for modo? I’d have left Max behind a couple years ago if I could have had Vray in there, and I’m not sure how happy I’d be about having to buy new licenses again. That said, I’m with Luke to a large degree - things are tough all over when it comes to software and they all c…

I’l tell you what… you better keep MAX in our back pocket, because it works well with the B.I.M. You are going to see a lot of Revit models and interchangeability will be king.

I propose a user buyout. 230000000 shares @ £35 per share : 3million users (all autodesk products I assume). Means we only need to spend about £3k each to take over the company! :wink: How many Vray seats have you sold for max ChaosGroup?

What makes me scratch my head is that google sold Sketchup and it wasn’t Autodesk that bought it !!!

I didn’t even know they sold it, but I agree, sketchup would have been a logical fit.

There is always VrayforC4D. I know lots of peeps that are fans of C4D and keep pressuring me to switch. It would NOT be the cheapest alternative to Max though. http://www.vrayforc4d.net/portal/

Autodesk has 123D, which is their answer to Sketch-Up. They could have purchased it, just to shut it down.[quote=“paulDryzen, post:9, topic:38397, username:paulDryzen”] What makes me scratch my head is that google sold Sketchup and it wasn’t Autodesk that bought it !!! [/quote]
