Maya 3D FREE!!

GlobalExplorer · 09-05-07, 05:35 PM

Anyone here who can make comparisons to Blender? Thats the only modelling tool I have used recently (I used to do some Maya at University but thats ages ago). I want to know if its worth switching - I have not even learned to use Blender proper ..

To be more precise what I want: I come from a CAD/engineering background and I would like to have more direct control over object coordinates - Blender seems to support all kinds of freeform tools, sculpting but I am not an artist!

I even thought about creating my models in AutoCAD where I can control geometry directly then importing into Blender via DXF but that sounds too idiotic = reinventing the wheel.
