Yeah it'd be really cool.

There's a guy (he could even be on these forums?) who's created a java Maya interface for his webpage and it's pretty cool!

Hehe somtimes I minimize Maya and it takes me few seconds to realize why spacebar or holding down the right mouse button doesn't work!

And I always try to move things with the middle mouse button!

AW should make a Maya Linux distrbution or Windows shell or something just for Maya users.

Hey all, I'm just a newbie here in this part of the woods...(in more ways than one) I've been a lightwave user for years..I think it's an awesome program, but I've just recently started to work with Maya and I have to say the modelling experience is more......pleasant..... also I feel the Ik feels less bogged down.... that being said I still love lightwave, can't stand 3dmax and learning to adore Maya....

welcome aboard quaoar!

being a lightwave user too, I'm a little surprised about your modeling statement; I feel LW still rocks for SDS modeling, though real NURBS and construction history obviously have their advantages : )

Philip: Hey there, I agree about the lightwave modelling, It's just that I'm seeing NURBS as a blessing.... *tear in eye* It's....it's...just so*sob* wonderful!!! Maybe I'm just enjoying the break from lightwave......

Tariqrf: No kidding...you lasted an hour? wow..that's patience for ya!
