Hello,

I recently had to make a choice between Maya and 3ds Max 9. I downloaded the trial of 3ds from the autodesk website only because I couldn't find Maya 8 download. I'm new to 3d and found the interface of 3ds very friendly and wanted to know if maya is similar? I also want to know what's the quickest way to get up to speed using Maya? I ask this because I will probably be purchasing sometime this next month. So my question is: Where can I find a trial version of the lastest Maya software?

Thanks,
