Abstract: Game making is a very complicated system engineering, which requires the coordination of game planning, design, art, modeling, production, procedures and other aspects to produce excellent game effects. In the process of game making, more software is also needed. In addition to the familiar PS, AI, DW, etc., we also need to use professional animation rendering and production software, such as 3DStudioMax and Maya. Let's take a look at the introduction together. What are the common game making softwares

game planning making softwares

office series softwares, Mindmanger and Unity3D?

game art software

PS, AI, DW, FL, axureRP, HTML, CSS, Maya, 3dsMax, Bodypaint, illusion, ZB.

game program software

C++, WIN32, DirectX, Box2D, Unity3d, cocos2d-x.

game making software

1 and 3DStudioMax

are referred to as 3dsMax or MAX for short, which are 3D animation rendering and making software based on PC system developed by Autodesk company. Its predecessor is 3DStudio series software based on DOS operating system, and the latest version is 219. Before the appearance of WindowsNT, industrial CG production was monopolized by SGI graphics workstation. The emergence of 3DStudioMax+WindowsNT combination suddenly lowered the threshold of CG production, and the animation production first used in computer games

In terms of application scope, it is widely used in advertising, film and television, industrial design, architectural design, multimedia production, games, auxiliary teaching and engineering visualization. 3DSMAX, which has powerful functions, is widely used in TV and entertainment industries, such as the production of opening animation and video games. Laura's character image deeply rooted in players' hearts is the masterpiece of 3DSMAX. It also has a certain application in film and television special effects. In the relatively mature architectural renderings and architectural animation production developed in China, the utilization rate of 3DSMAX has an absolute advantage. According to the application characteristics of different industries, there are different requirements for the mastery of 3DSMAX. The application of architecture is relatively limited. It only requires the rendering effect and environmental effect of a single frame, and only involves relatively simple animation. Animation accounts for a large proportion in the application of opening animation and video games, especially video games have higher requirements for character animation; The application of film and television special effects has brought the function of 3DSMAX to the extreme.

2, Maya

Maya is the world's top three-dimensional animation software produced by Autodesk Company in the United States, and its application objects are professional film and television advertisements, character animation, movie stunts and so on. Maya has perfect functions, flexible work, easy to learn and use, high production efficiency and strong realistic rendering. It is a high-end production software at the movie level.

Maya is expensive and famous, and it is the production tool that producers dream of. Mastering Maya will greatly improve the production efficiency and quality, adjust the simulated character animation, render the real effect like a movie, and move forward to the top animators in the world.

Maya integrates the most advanced animation and digital effects technology of AliasWavefront. It not only includes the functions of general three-dimensional and visual effects production, but also combines with the most advanced modeling, digital cloth simulation, hair rendering and motion matching technology. Maya can run on WindowsNT and SGIIRIX operating systems. Maya is the preferred solution among the tools used for digital and 3D production in the current market.
