AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- G2 reviewers report that Animaker excels in user-friendliness, with many users highlighting its intuitive interface and ease of use. One user mentioned, "Easy to use the basic functions. Plenty of options for customizing," making it a great choice for those new to animation.
- Users say that 3ds Max Design is particularly strong in 3D modeling and visualization, with one reviewer praising its "very effective 3D modeling and visualization tools" that are ideal for architectural and interior design projects. This makes it a preferred option for professionals in those fields.
- According to verified reviews, Animaker's customer support is highly rated, with users noting that "customer service was fast, and issues were resolved quickly." This level of support can be crucial for users who may need assistance during their creative process.
- Reviewers mention that while 3ds Max Design offers powerful features, it may not be as accessible for beginners, with some users finding the tools complex compared to other software. One user noted that "the tools made the task of modeling harder than it is," indicating a steeper learning curve.
- G2 reviewers highlight that Animaker's flexibility in character customization is a standout feature, with one user appreciating the ability to "edit the customers to make them appealing to all ethnicities." This inclusivity can enhance user engagement and broaden the appeal of created content.
- Users report that 3ds Max Design, while powerful, has a higher entry-level price point, which may deter small businesses or individual users. In contrast, Animaker offers a free version, making it more accessible for those just starting out or with budget constraints.
