Maya 2009
The UI's had a bit of a revamp (bit pointless really IMHO) just buttons have been changed to "sort of Gel type"
Anyone else using it? Got any opinions on it at all?
Well off to read the whats new section.

Nope, same ones, as I said its different. The pics above are a direct screen grabs, one form 2008 ext 2 and the other form 2009, in the same display settings.
Its not like I'm complaning that they have changed, just pointing it out.

though, i've noticed that now autodesk is only offering a 14 month license for educational copies - which is kind of shitty, though it is half the price.

Nparticles seem really good, very very fast and combining them with ncloth too, wow!!
Also looking forward to having a play with the UV tools etc, not too sure how much I would use the animation layers, i'ts a distinct possiblilty though (mainly use motionbuilder anyway but hey)
Its all looking good so far! Sure theres going to be some gripes though somewhere!
Hardes part for me is to try out new tools as I'm set in my ways when it comes to modeling!
