I work 10 years in 3ds max, and i dont see whats your frustration? You just suck at 3d at all thats the problem, 2 hours for a ball object plus texture. You should commit suicide man no joke :P, thats less then 2 minutes work what you did.

I totally agree:

After using 3D studio since 2.5, I’ve not found a version yet that is either:

Stable
User friendly
Industry leading
Worth the money

But alas, this is the program I am forced by my employers to use.

With Maya now devoured by this mediocre company, I get that sinking feeling again. Max wasn’t even built to be a proper 3D program, it use to be an extension of auto CAD, also a terrible program (if you have ever had to use that nightmare, then seen how good solidworks is you’ll know what I mean).

To top it off, they re-release the same crap each year with the same crappy bugs every time! And they expect everyone to fork out money for this tripe.

Abandon ship people, Max is a con.

Well even if you learn 3Ds Max you will get annoyed with it very fast. If you know other 3D programs you will know your are dealing with a moron interface and moron “solutions” which is rarly tested before publishing.
You usually have to plan your way around all the things that makes Max crash ! Its amasing for a program that cost in danish kroner ca. 30 000 KR !!

I have been working professionaly with 3Ds max since version 4 and have done all around kind of work with it. Compared to other 3d programs out there it sucks in not being stable enough. Support !? …. LOL ! you think the people who made an more and more unstable 3D program would know the reason for your problem .. of course not !

Wanna get into 3d … lean blender and save your savings for when you really need it.

“Then animation kicks in and you start cursing and swearing like a drunken sailor on crack.”

And then, after some large amount of invested time, you suddenly realise that you’re actually good. :)

Don’t you just love 3D…?

Say bye-bye to your social-life (the animation program at my school, we primarily use Maya).

DM, you have no idea how frustrating it is at first.
