Hey all,

I am just curious. Who is using what to make planes and scenery with?

Max, or Gmax, or 'other'.

Duh, voted for GMax although I wanted to pick Max. xP

Max for sure!

gMax has to many knits & limitations.

Does no good for FSX development, but I really like using Blender. Once you get the keyboard commands down it flies.

3dsMAX has it's limitations too. About four thousand limitations (in dollars

)

I voted Gmax and other, because I use XSI to make models, and Gmax to export.

Max all the way. I tried Gmax and the program is just too limited. Since I won 3DS Max on a professional level (I do a lot of freelancing) the cost is not that much for me.

Max all the way. Being just freeware, and having a sister in the education profession, with creds, Max was had for ALOT less than 4 g's. And I got the older version 7. I like Max over Gmax for ease and added features for texturing, and cool shapes, like cambered cans, boxes, capsules, etc. And one day I would like to build for other sims that can't use Gmax.

Being a college student is helpful when purchasing software...the day I got my ID card in the mail, I went to the campus bookstore and got Photoshop CS4 for like $150.

Yep, it definately helps. Got Max 9 via my university (via good connections to the design department) as well as Pro Engineer and MATLAB and could try out some more CAD tools if I wanted to.

I need to take advantage of my last year as a grad student, get some Adobe products, possibly Max 9. Though the latest Max versions are subscription only...
