SWITCH.. SWITCH.. SWITCH.. !!!!!
i mean come on stevemac.. what kind of question is that..?
max or maya..? isn't it obvious..? MAYA !! :p
i started out with max too.. was on it for about a year.. one day i decided to try maya out... just to have a quick look.. well.. i haven't opened max since.. lol
'n is maya difficult to learn..? well i recon that all high-end apps can be a bitch in the begginin' for everybody, but thats only if you let 'em.. heh
