Favorite programs for everything?
polycounter lvl 3
What are your favorite programs for the following? Mine are:
Modeling: Modo
Sculpting: Zbrush
Retopo: 3D Coat
Unwrapping: Modo
Rigging: Maya
Animating: Maya
Texturing: Substance Designer
Rendering: Marmoset Toolbag 2
Engine: Unreal 4
Plug-In: Meshfusion
I would have made a stawpoll or something for each of these, but I was afraid of missing some of the options and making someone mad. Plus it's more fun to see what combination of things people are using.

Sculpting - Zbrush, though its a bit of a pain to get into, might mix with Modo.
UVing - Used to be max, but soon will be Modo (apparently it's UVing system is very good)
Rigging/Aniimating - Max, though was never much of a rigger, Hopefully Modo's rigging system will be good enough, i know it's no where near maya's though.
Texturing - Used to be Photoshop, but now have Substance Designer and Painter.
Engine - UE4, though haven't played with it much.
Plugin - Meshfusion, when i get it, and any other scripts for Modo i can find.
Rendering - Used to be Mentalray, but now i've got Marmoset.
