maya is good, low learning curve.
3ds max is best, higher learning curve with the added extra that it can tear a ripple in the space-time continuum and the arm of corporate complacency jerks you off while you work, which is nice

Then again, Software does not matter, so you shoould be real good after 6 years of practicing animation.

If You used MAYA for modeling, rethink Your life.

depends what you want to do... but i would say stick with blender, its kind of better than both of those atm. Houdini is also fantastic. all depends what you want to do.

If you want to do architectural visualization, learn max. if you want to do animation / character stuff, do maya. if you want to learn procedural FX and stuff, do houdini. if you want to learn a bit of everything though id say stick with blender. what is your goal?

Did have and search engines are full of people reporting the same Blender issues I had. Tried simple projects. Tried drivers & updates. Tried a new prefs file. Tried disabling GPU subdivision. Tried Eevee... Tried all the suggested workarounds for Blender's awful memory management and in the end found the answer was to nerf my RAM timings & voltages. Strangely Maya didn't shit the bed like Blender did during this period.

The CPU & GPU are recent installs on a B450 Tomahawk Max + M.2 storage + EVGA 750w gold PSU. Tbf, I have ordered a B550 Tomahawk & 128 GB RAM, which the 5950 & 4060 will go in. Even so, this has brought home to me the value of tuning RAM.

you have to use DDU to completely remove your old driver first and follow the proper DDU steps including disabling your internet so it doesnt automatically give you a garbage driver

Yeah I went through that a few days back and had it remove traces of the 3060 driver that was installed previously. Now that I think on, I was using 2.93 until I upgraded the GPU, so the support for 3.5 listed in the SD driver makes sense.

my bad

that driver isnt going to work for you as it came out before the 4060 ti came out. You'll have to find another studio driver. But, not all studio drivers are "stable" even though they advertise as being "stable". Good luck.

lmfao retard, substance did literally all of the heavy lifting and the thing itself is a bunch of cubes and cylinders, the most complex geometry being hex bolts.
polymodelling being the only thing blender doesn't suck total ass at. can't, rather, or it wouldn't even fucking count as a 3d app if you couldn't at least push and pull vertices in it.
probably took something like 45 minutes to render a 1080p frame given how much of a slog cycles is that makes mantra look fast in comparison, lmao.

none of this changes the fact that 99% of the appeal comes from texture work, which wasn't done in blender.
no one would be praising 3ds max nor its polymodelling tools if it had been rendered in vray, instead. i don't get why dumbass blendlets are just so goddamn obsessed.
