Maxonform vs. form z

[Anonymous]

Naturally I would expect a more maxonform-pro environment here, but nevertheless...how does it compare with form z? i have never used either product, and am just getting my feet wet w/ archicad 10. any input?

From my limited knowledge of both packages, I can shed some light on generalizations...

FormZ - Great 3D modelling tool. To use with AC you will need to export/import the geometry between softwares.

MaxonForm - Specialized version of Cinema 4D (see below) made to work with AC through the MaxonForm plug-in. Letting you work seamlessly (to a point) between the two softwares.

Cinema 4D - Great 3D modelling/rendering/animation tool.

As with any software package, each software has their pros and cons. In the end it is up to user preference.
