3dsmax and maya Dynamics FX

[magesh00]

Dynamics / FX...
A word used to represent things, that can be done with the help of the CPU,to show a happening or an effect of something... or blast ... or any anticipation , impact, etc...

Right now they are playing a very important role in the world of CG...
I dont have any idea about other softwares except 3dsmax and maya....
So go with them both.
"
Let us say for example...
1.I am 3dsmax user.
2.I want to be a dynamics artist.
3.I know to use realflow,FumeFX,Afterburn,PFsource,glu3d and Reactor in 3dsmax.

Can I be a Dynamics and FX artist ?

If not.......
Do I have to learn Maya ?

Because in maya all the things which I mentioned above are already there.
Fluid ,hair, Volume ,smoke,cloth....


Is it any different from 3dsmax .... In these types of section.....?

frm a few ppl dat i've heard, 3Ds Max's dynamics system is better dan Maya's.....as for particles n all, ye cn also learn compositing sftwrs, dey play much more an important role in tis stream tday.

btw, ....dat recently released movie, D-Wars, in which 2 dragon like creatures fight on the earth's playground.....i heard frm my trainer dat it all was done wid ONLY 3Ds Max's dynamics system....ovcourse dey used extra plugins, n scripting genius....but it ws in 3Ds max.....

good dat ye learnt so many plugins in 3D Max, learn 1-2 compositin sftwrs too, if possible, it'll gv ye n edge...

n no, i seriously dnt find any difference in 3Ds Max n Maya.....i've seen much awesome artworks in Max dan Maya.....even an awesome game series calld Warcraft(check out its videos in youtube) is 3Ds Max job!!!

Hi all. Shashanks i don't agree with you, max's particles waorse than maya's one especialy nParticles in Maya 2009. If you want to be Dynamic artist :) you have to learn Real Flow or Houdini. another soft for Dynamics - garbage!
