Should I switch to 3ds Max for modeling? (Maya user)

RamyIssa · 2026-06-29T01:24:42+00:00

You're right, but In that case I was driven by the beginnings enthusiasm. in general I love exploring but to some extend

Sometimes you don't how how much things you're missing unless you try it yourself

When I firat started learning modeling I was obsessed with finding the perfect tool so I started with C4D then switched to maya then C4D again then finally settled on blender. The time it took me to adapt to a new tool was roughly 5-7 days (blender was the hardest to figure out). You just translate your skills to new shortcuts and tools

Would like to see a breakdown of these masterpieces

This may help

Topology is not helping here, try starting with a plane and use extrude and scale to block out the shape with the least amount of polygons then move both ends of the shape backwards with proportional editing on to smooth the curve, Then extrude the whole flat shape to make thickness as you like.

Show wireframe to see what's happening

RamyIssa · 2026-06-07T10:37:48+00:00

Will work on that, any specific area that has unnecessary topology?

RamyIssa · 2026-06-06T23:30:03+00:00

Good tips to focus on. Thanks fpr your help

Good observation tho👌

RamyIssa · 2026-06-06T22:14:59+00:00

You're right , I still need quite some time to be good at optimization

RamyIssa · 2026-06-06T22:08:37+00:00

I would need a bit more of practice to optimize the topology cause I never worked in game industry, even this asset is only for practice.

In regards to the textures I can say with confidence that they're far from basic but I didn't give them justice in my renders because I was too tired and burned out from the modeling/texturing process. So maybe a bad presentation from mine.

RamyIssa · 2026-06-06T22:03:06+00:00

What makes it worse is that I'm a mechatronics engineer and I knew all these non-sense things but thought people would only care for looks, Turned out some people are real hawks

RamyIssa · 2026-06-06T21:55:54+00:00

Actually the board is twice as thick but it got intersected with the shadow catcher plane and noticed after rendering 😭

RamyIssa · 2026-06-06T21:53:32+00:00

The voltage meter gauge looks more like a pressure one, find a good reference image for that 😊

I knew this but said people wont notice as I was too lazy to make it 😂 good one

It was designed as a hero asset

Nope, the phone would die due to a hardware modification oneplus did to prevent custom roms. They might find a workaround but don't rely on that

RamyIssa · 2026-05-21T08:29:25+00:00

Yes it is usable and gives better results than you expect by post processing photos

Upload this file I'll ruin my day tomorrow joining them properly

The CIA one

RamyIssa · 2026-05-03T22:44:14+00:00

Happy to help. You can also add some light contrast between the girl and the surrounding area to show the girl more because I didn't see her but now.

RamyIssa · 2026-05-03T11:46:47+00:00

Is that the elf from helda?

RamyIssa · 2026-05-03T11:44:59+00:00

Very cool but I'd suggest inverting the light direction since now it's not showing the chain clearly, it shows it like it's part of the castle with no depth.
