'As I said Max and Maya are two completely different packages, right from the core code and architecture up so unless ones dropped in Cavour of the other merging them would mean a new package rather than a merger...' {quote, steve}

very good piont.., (Steve, every man of succinct info ((are you working for maya these days ?? how do you know so much about so much about maya)))

and i cant see a whole new package designed (my wildest imagination didnt come near that) and both 'max and maya' (sonds like a movie about love and marriage )dropped because the production houses might not take to well to that one.., maybe the hobbiest might think it fun.., but the real world would certainly not take kindly.., it would cost a fortune in refitting and training.., that will never happen.., it is more likely apple and MS will take their gloves of.., it business not religion.
