Back in the saddle, again
I first dabbled in Maya in v4.5 several months ago. After winning a copy of 3dsmax, I decided to dive in and see what I could do. While 3dsmax is a quite capable program I've rediscovered Maya after opening Maya 5 PLE and watching a few video tutorials.
:bgreen:
To my delight - and a previous misunderstanding of texture mapping in Maya - I came to realize how much more user-friendly Maya is compared to my initial experience. Which was based on what "seemed" to be an intimidating interface in Hypershade.
After playing with Maya 5 the past three days, and watching some excellent video tutorials, I realized it's time to give Maya another go. Now, the trick is to come up with $2,000 to get the full licensed version. In the meantime I will be content with learning it through the PLE. With one complaint, that bloody watermark makes renders almost impossible to analyze. But, oh well. The effort will be worth it, I believe, until I can get the full version.
