It's a site where they have Sketchup modeling contests. One a week. They have some cool stuff on there. But sadly, I'm a noob with both sketchup and maya so I am not good enough to really compete in these things yet. But I was curious how Maya compared speed wise. could the more experienced Maya modelers here make models in a comparable or faster time than Sketchup? Sketchup is supposed to be easier to use so I wonder if it's actually faster or not.
