Well, i just purchased Maya 2008, and thought i would start a thread to discuss the new features, and also to get some of your Guys/ Gals input, and thoughts on Autodesks latest release.

I shell wait to see if anyone post before i start ranting.

After all this is Maya chat.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

I was kinda worried when Autodesk bought Maya. But so far I think everything that has been implemented into Maya has been for the majority very positive. I know they're trying to merge, in a way, some of the good features of studio max into maya and get rid of what doesn't work in maya. I heard at this years GDC (Game Developers Conference) that Autodesk is going to completely get rid of Maya and Max eventually to create the ultimate 3D program. I think they're making the changes slowly but surely.

one of the mia problems here is as soon as the guys here do tuts for the latest maya.., they are already out dated (jay, dont bother with that update.., as soon as you do you'll be out dated )

take it easy and life will be easy

mirek03 - thats mainly because of the interface transition since Autodesk bought Maya. I'd expect that to settle down once more and tutorials made for Maya 8.5+ to be compatible till another major change happens.
