I'm 20, Maya 4 & 4.5 and only been using it for about 2 months know.

Hahahahaha..!!! well I'm glad Mac users are buying into Maya (for theyre macs). Hopefully A|W will re-coup all that lost r+d money/time they spent on the Mac port and make Maya 5 the most significant release yet.. give us muscle simulation and a better NLA system dammit!!

what the hell is NLA. Maya is already over my. dont ask them to be able to put a small moon in between my head and maya.

Im 26, and I own Maya 4.5 on the Mac.

No Mac should crash as much as you said it did running OS X.

Anywho. No flame intended. Just wanted to say mah peece. heh

NLA is "Nonlinear Animation." It's a term for what Trax does, which is let you combine snippets of animation along a timeline.

It's pretty cool, but it tends to be a tool that becomes less useful as you have more time to work on a shot, because it's kind of optimized for throwing things together quickly.
