Which one is better? 3ds Max or Maya? In this post, I will be comparing the two programs from what I have researched about them and from what I have used. These are both 3d modeling applications but they are used for different purposes and while they both can accomplish the same things, some tasks are more efficient on one of the programs. First of all, 3ds Max, from what I can tell, is better at architectural design and modeling. There is an option when you first start up 3ds to have a mode specifically for design. You can also tell that it is built for architectural tasks because of some of the options in the create tab. There is a whole category for stairs, and many options within categories like these. Maya is similar to Blender in that it is used for character modeling and more focused on animation. 3ds Max's animation isn't bad in any way but Maya's system is much more intuitive and more efficient. This is so much so that many animators rate Maya as one of the top programs for character modeling, rigging, and animating.

Super Mario Bros. was a hit game created in 1985 that has inspired the release of many other games after it. Along with these games came a movie in 1993 simply titled, Super Mario Bros. This film had a big budget and there was a ton of promo and advertising for it. The film ended up being a flop. There could be many possible reasons for this, from the lack of similarity to the games, to the creepy looking designs of some of fans' favorite characters. The Super Mario Bros. Movie takes place in Brooklyn, New York where the two Mario Bros. work as plumbers. The movie makes this very clear while the video games never really bring this up or have ever brought it up much since the original game. Ever wondered why the Mario Bros. are called the Mario Bros.? Well, it's simply because both of their last names are Mario. Therefore there would be Mario Mario and Luigi Mario. Here is where the movie starts to stray away from the game a lot. The film crew tried so hard to bring these characters to life that they just started making stuff up along the way that was inconsistent with the games. The villain is named Koopa instead of Bowser like in the original games, and Luigi has a love interest in the form of Daisy who is actually digging for dinosaur bones under the Brooklyn bridge. Mario and Luigi have to save Princess Daisy from Koopa once they get transported into a dinosaur world mysteriously. At this point, I had seen enough. This movie was an attempt to bring the Mario Bros. to a genre of movie where it didn't belong.
