Talk about irony! I finally get my Manager to purchase Maya 8, and boom! One business day later, this bomb drops! I can't believe it:headbang: !

Anyways, I have a question. What other apps are there that are as intuitive and powerful as Maya? I'd hate to jump ship, but it seems like Autodesk is sailing Maya into dangerous waters. I've tried Max, and I wasn't very pleased. It just seemed tedious to use. So basically, what I'm asking is is there another app that closely resembles Maya, both with the interface, and features?
