Hey there I am new in this community I was wondering if any of you gentleman know any website for downloading Linux programs such as Autodesk Maya Thanks.

How is linux compatibilty for stuff like that? I just always assumed blender, houdinifx, ue, etc. wouldn’t have good support
Many big studios use linux (red hat or rocky, although I’m not sure what is the industry standard distro nowadays) for their 3d side of the pipeline, that would include all of that software and more. I think Zbrush is the only one that doesn’t have official Linux compatibility and the hardest one to run, but don’t quote me on that.
You are right in that finding good support for issues that pop up in Linux is hard, especially for the average joe that doesn’t have a team of specialized IT support. But when you make things work, the results are way more efficient.
Well you thought wrong because the performance for these programs are way better on Linux than Windows. and as a low end Linux user that performance is important for me.
Blender was made for Linux, the compatibility issues happen with windows (they’re still really rare, blender is an amazing program).
Dunno about houdinifx, I don’t know that software.
And I’m assuming you mean Unreal Engine with ue, in which case, game engines not only should work on every platform but they’re especially tested on linux cuz many developers use Linux.
Well, Blender and Maya run natively on Linux. And I think Houdini is available for several platforms, too. Seems Linux is amongst them. Plus we generally have good support for Windows software these days. I’m not that much into professional software, and there might be issues with licensing and copy protection… But the Windows-only games from my Steam library for example just run on my computer these days.
I am going to be completely frank here. It is horrible. I am speaking from the standpoint of someone that uses CAD/CAM professionally. I have tried to get a lot of software running in WINE etc. to mostly small margins of success.
If someone needs Autodesk stuff and they don’t want it to crash constantly, they’re going to need to run a VM at least, and a Windows install is just going to work better.
I run Windows on a machine that is attached to no network because I have to for work. All of the FOSS CAD tools are crashy garbage if you need functionality beyond simple stuff like 3D printing.
It just isn’t there. OP, if you read this, please take my professional advice and either dual boot or run a Windows VM.
Onshape is an okay option for Linux (I’ve been able to do everything I used to to in Inventory), although I hate that it’s cloud based. I know that a rug pull is inevitable, but I figure I’ll stick with it until then.
I’d have to say that for someone looking for AutoDesk level tools, OnShape just is not gonna cut it. It’s fine for hobbyist stuff, but is far from great.
