Question... advice... help... your thoughts?

I apologize in advance... this is a lot to read but I just want everyone to know what I am thinking and the direction I want to go in.

I am at a point where I think I am ready to transition to using Maya & 3DSMAX software to do all my animations and rendering. Right now, I am using some very basic software for my animations that lacks any type of physics control, among other things. I am going to be using Maya & 3DSMAX for fluids and rendering going forward (IE: look at the Fira/Zeena scene renders). I want to switch to using only Maya & 3DSMAX. However, there are some pros and cons to switching. I wanted to list them here and see what you all think.

PROS to switching to Maya & 3DSMAX for animations:

  • More realistic animations - There are a lot of movement and physics things that I can do in Maya that will help add a lot more realism and smoothness to my animations.

  • Faster animations - Since I can simulate a lot of the stuff I am doing manually now, this will help speed up the time it takes me to make an animation.

  • More complexity and details to characters - If you want really good super high quality closeups of anal/vaginal/docking/etc, I can do that 1000X time better with Maya. I can also do internal/xray shots in Maya as well.

  • More diversity in new characters - There is an infinite number of possibilities in Maya in terms of character creation.

  • More lifelike characters - Maya will allow me to make really detailed facial rigs that will allow for some really dramatic facial expressions that are very difficult for me to make now.

  • In the long run, all of the above is what that I really want in my animations.

CONS to switching now:

  • There will be a delay before I am ready to start animating the next sex scene. This could be 2 days or 2 weeks. This is because I will have to redo all the rigs for the characters I am using. That means I will have to remake the way their body bends, flexes, as well as all of their facial expressions.

  • I will have to learn Maya animation from scratch. Though, I will say its not super different from what I am doing now but I imagine there will still be a small learning curve with this which will probably cause a few delays.

Anyway, I just wanted to share my thoughts with everyone. I really love doing this and I will not stop any time soon. In the end, I want to be able to get as close to making a 3D animated Disney Quality porn movie as I can. I will have to switch to Maya at some point.

Let me know what you think... message me or post here. And, please vote below!

I have had to update my pens to Sakura felt pens to get my manga characters to look like they came out of an actual manga, which is my manga. I feel that you are reaching the next step in your goal, a stepping stone. Keep on being excellent because you are excellent at anything you put your heart to.

If it speeds up the animation process & overall quality it's definitely worth it to switch now as you'll save lots of time in the long run.

Thanks Mark! It will definitely improve the overall quality in a lot of different ways.

If it will help you speed up the animation process and improve overall quality, I say go for it. I can deal with a delay while you learn the "ins and outs" of maya.
