Modo,Rhino or 3D Studio max

Which of these programs would you suggest for just 3D printing and hard surface sculpting purposes and nothing else?

I’m looking to get another program to use in conjunction with Zbrush ,
any info and help would be appreciated.

B

it doesn’t really matter which you get. Each has it’s pro’s and con’s. I use Max Modo, Softimage and Zbrush.

The price is really where you need to ask yourself which is more important to you. Max and Softimage are $4k + $1k/yr subscription. Modo is $900 out the door. I don’t use Rhino so I can’t tell you that.

Modo can’t use a modifier stack of any kind so you can’t do some of the things you can with max and maya. Modo has a very quick render engine that takes a bit of time to get used to…etc.

If you’re just doing 3d printing and don’t have to use too many complex deformers then I would go with Modo as it is made to model and it does it very well.

eh…my 2cents.
