Hi there guys, Mike and Pony and the rest... Hmm guess Maya is pulling me into the dark side,..... Hehe since i am a lightwaver. I am considering donloading and trying out the personal learning version of maya,,, since the real one is like very expensive. Not really plan to do any commercial stuff, just play around and maybe get some skills going.

Any thought on the personal edition? Can we like do animations and stuff? What about paint effects? Can we like do really high poly characters and stuff?

I have read the limitations, but want your thoughts on this since you guys are the ones really into it.

How about XSI|EXP 3.0 the free non commercial version? Anyone used that before?

Thanks for your valued input.
Come into the Dark Side.....
Ahhh...............
