If I could possibly learn blender, I wouldn't be contemplating spending $2,000 on Maya-for-Linux.You've really been thinking about buying it?
Yes - I came very close to giving in at SigGraph this year because they had some kind of special deal that bundled a stack of Maya books along with the license - but fortunately, the crowd of people at the Maya booth put me off. Basically, my wife would kill me if I spent $2k without discussing it with her first! Fortunately, my son is a 3D fanatic too - I've just got to work on the idea that this is an essential educational tool that any good parent would gladly pay for! I will almost certainly buy Maya sooner or later. ---------------------------- Steve Baker ------------------------- HomeEmail: <sjbaker1@airmail.net> WorkEmail: <sjbaker@link.com> HomePage : http://www.sjbaker.org Projects : http://plib.sf.net http://tuxaqfh.sf.net http://tuxkart.sf.net http://prettypoly.sf.net -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- GCS d-- s:+ a+ C++++$ UL+++$ P--- L++++$ E--- W+++ N o+ K? w--- !O M- V-- PS++ PE- Y-- PGP-- t+ 5 X R+++ tv b++ DI++ D G+ e++ h--(-) r+++ y++++ -----END GEEK CODE BLOCK-----
