Autodesk 2026 System Requirements Compared
Official 2026 requirements for AutoCAD, Revit, Inventor, Civil 3D, 3ds Max and Maya side by side — plus the .NET gotchas that break installs.
Blender vs 3ds Max: Is Free Good Enough Now?
Blender is free; 3ds Max is US$2,010 a year. For freelancers the honest answer changed a few years ago. Where Max still wins, and where it no longer does.
SolidWorks vs Inventor: How to Choose
Inventor publishes its price (US$2,585/yr); SolidWorks quotes via resellers but still sells perpetual licences. Usually your supply chain decides.
3ds Max vs Maya: Same Price, Different Job
3ds Max and Maya cost exactly the same — US$168 a month billed annually. So price is not the decision. Modelling and arch-viz versus rigging and animation is.
Revit vs AutoCAD: Which One Fits Your Work?
Revit costs US$3,005 a year against AutoCAD’s US$2,095 and needs twice the RAM. The real difference is drawing versus modelling.
AutoCAD vs AutoCAD LT: Which Do You Need?
AutoCAD LT costs about a quarter of full AutoCAD. What you actually lose — 3D, the specialised toolsets and LISP — and how to tell which side you are on.
