Do you want the best advice from a user that has been using 3ds since the discreet 3ds max 5 days?

Don't.

It took you so long to figure out autosaving?

Anonymous at Thu, 2 Nov 2023 16:23:40 UTC No. 962947

autosaving isnt a good solution. You want to save with a meaningful filename for major changes and auto increment save in-between those changes.

3ds max has autosave?!?! I didn't know!

Do you have a custom workflow so syncing 2 dozen 60gb xrefs across 8 workstations for an urban planning video works with 3ds max autosave?!

You should know right. Right?

We do have a custom autosave script that makes automatic versions of each file and marks them in their own project file. It's pretty robst the defect with 3ds max comes when yoo try to use plug-ins. Fucking forest, project manager and rail clone are the usual culprits. We are limited to a 5gb/s network so I can't have autosave every 5 minutes in 8 workstations.

Max autosaving is quite shit honestly. It can't handle multiple sessions of the same project.

>>962955
A small script can. Just run a startup scrip that changes the autosave.filename : string : vvalue to a system time stamp or something.

you completely fucked over your own argument by pointing out that your scenes are so ridiculously large that obviously any software will have troubles.
also with so many PCs being synced the likelihood of the problem being some undetected hardware issue rather than max is quite high, too.

even worse: blender clearly has even more trouble with large scenes by a factor of somewhere between 1/10 and 1/1000 the polygons that max can handle smoothly, and anyone that has worked with both programs extensively knows that.
i can manipulate a mesh with a few million polygons in max easily while blender will turn into a freaking slideshow even with a workstation - so using huge scenes as an argument against max is very much like saying a ferrari is a shit racing car because it can't go 500km/h and therefore advising to buy pic related in order to win a race. your 500km/h requirement is just outlandish and the tiny pea car is still worse in every conceivable way.

tl;dr: i respect that you clearly know your shit working on such a large scene, but you still have no argument whatsoever and blender is garbage tier software and worse than max in every conceivable way. literally the only areas where it is better that i can even think of are viewport antialiasing and boxcutter for quick blockouts. and both are irrelevant.

Ok dude did not read carefully but let me put it in plain pixels for you.

You guys do want to use ¨professional¨ software and make this your life, be my guest I aint gonna stop you. At least blender is free. I have to pay every year to those autojews thousands of dollars just because my clients are part of the ¨autodesk ecosystem¨.

that's not me being predictable, that's just you being annoying and everyone rightfully reacting to it the same way.

writing a letter saying "someone will tell me to shut the fuck up later" and then going down the street at 4 am yelling random bullshit is not being a seer, it's being a mentally retarded asshole, namefag.

cont.: just to spell it out for you, nobrains:

YOU are the one being extremely predictable and playing that off as being smarter than everyone by pretending the also-predictable reaction to your misbehavior was somehow not predictable.
