Google SketchUp vs. 3dsMax

Sometimes, SU it all you need. And if it's all you need, it's probably the fastest solution too.
Su is like this !

I think that Sketchup is a design tool before its a modeler. Max is a modeler and not a design tool.
I don't use Sketchup because its the best modeler, but because it is a best design tool.
I am speaking as an architect. -
I don't use SketchUP - it's using me!

I guess that means that 3ds Max is like this:

And that's why you cannot simply put it into your pocket.

hi,
for cutting this argument we can analize each of them and write advantages and disadvantages.
in general i'm working with (SU) , but in some cases it is really weaker than 3ds max.
advantages of SU :
1.quick
2.easy
3.attractive work space
4.nice renders
5.supporting most of formats for importing and exporting
.
.
.
disadvantages of SU :
1.weak in some aspects
2.it is useful just for modeling and you can't do other works like animations or face designing &... in it.
3.has problem in curves.
4.you can't edit the curve surfaces whatever you like.(this is the worst disadvantage).
.
.
.
advantages o 3dsmax :
1.include all the designing methods .
2.perfect and accurate work space
3.perfect renders and exports
4.quick and accurate in designing curves and curve surfaces.
5.professional
6.include animations and designing faces
.
.
.
disadvantages of 3dsmax :
1.takes more time
2.hard to learn
.
.
.goodluck

Price not mentioned?
But I'm unsure as to why you chose 3DS Max to compare SU against.

From your statistics, Pilou, perhaps Blender is 3x harder to use? 3x more questions! haha
I joke...

I assume he made a search, but didn't take any notice of the dates of the original discussion...
Comparing SU with 3ds Max seem slightly ridiculous IMO...
It's like comparing a Lamborghini with an Audi... -
Not such a good comparison Kim, as Lamborghini use Audi engines.
I know what you mean though haha

I know, Oli...
Wanted to see if anybody would comment on exactly that...
Besides, don't you have an Audi A3 - as far as I remember...? -
I always suggest my friends to try Sketchup and inspire them by showing how can I quickly do things from small object detail to large urban model.
I only need 3dsmax when client ask for some WOW images.
SU is must have tool for designer. It takes a 3D guy only few weeks to start to drive like a sport car.
Cheers,

...advantages o 3dsmax :
3.perfect rendersWhere is SU producing renders (in the meaning of photoreal renders not displaying shadows...)? There are many great render engines available for both programs (Maxwell, v-ray,...) and for instance the SU plugin for Maxwell supports almost all Maxwell features.

2.perfect and accurate work space?!?
Where is 3DSmax more accurate than SU?!? The snap function in max is horrible and far more superior in SU. And max keeps rounding numbers to one two or three decimal places depending on the function and i really don't want to work in mm to be able to get a more precise input... And take a look at the "resulting accuracy" depending on system units and scene size...
In SU i can have at least 6 decimal places. The only accuracy problem in SU comes from segmented curves... but this was another point in your list.@pouria said:
advantages o 3dsmax :
5.professionalLOL?!?
@pouria said:
disadvantages of 3dsmax :
1.takes more time
2.hard to learnsorry, looking at your comments it seems that SU is at least equally hard to learn for some people...
what a useless post... and this in a 4 years old thread. Great first post on this forum!
