Anyone use it? I'm reluctant to dl it so feedback please.

Autodesk Maya?

I use maya 8.5 now and then, but im self taught. so im not pro or anything ^^

...think so, didn't do too much research, one of my friends said and quote "Get maya, it'll help you out." And I know enough to know it has something to do with art and 3-d...

is it worth dl?

yea its pretty fun, hard to learn at first but there are alot of guides for it

thats why i dont use it ekekeke

im a lazy bum when it comes to learning software. if i really like it, i take
time to learn it.. but my time is so little with school atm that i downloaded
maya but only tried it once, then went learning easier programs first cause
i wanted to get some things done quickly

same goes for c4d btw, nice program, makes great renders.. but a biatch
to learn oO

...harder than lightwave?

never tried lightwave O.o

i tried both for a short while..

and maya seemed to work more.. logical in a way.
idk, every interface has a certain "feel" to it, and maya felt better
than lightwave for me if you want to use something for animating,
then i suggest you try out animation master that one was for me
the one i found most interesting to try out cause it seemed to be the most
easy to use

Eh... I can't switch from lightwave, after learning EVERY hotkey there is I can't switch. (RTS gamer curse)

hahaha then u better stay with that one

but what u usin it for? i know my brother uses maya, he's an architect..
n i hear maya is used for animating (thats what i installed it for).. what do
u use the programs for?

Lightwave for basic modeling but mostly for animated shorts. It's a great character modeler and animated movie maker. As long as I can get textures right on PS I can make modeling work for lightwave, but mostly animation.

try out animation master.

if you can get it from "someone", its fun to try out.

me goes sleepy times now bb

subtle, very subtle.
