The newest Blender allows you to keymap shortcuts to Maya's interface. Will a little practice, determination and a lot of tutorials, you can easily jump into Blender :) I was previously a user of 3DsMax, and I found the transition easy cause the core principles are the same. > 1 : Before starting the project make sure you have a proper story > board and proper Idea what we are going to make Can't emphasize that more. The story is the biggest motivation in itself. > 2 : Don't depend only in blender , why we need to stick only with > blender ? there are few other free software or plugins available By far, Blender is the most efficient and capable all in one free software that can do majority of our works. I know Ogre3D is good too, but I think its more of a game engine than anything else. Then again, Blender has proved its worth over and over again, I think we'll have lesser problems using that than other suites. But maybe I'm wrong. I've also read that Ogre and Blender can be used alongside. > 3 : Make sure we have proper pipeline before starting the project ( it > will be a big challenge for sure ) Jira is pretty efficient though its not stable. As for the project, I'm not sure whether the initiators have thought about it being offline or online. > 4 : Make sure we have some one who can direct a movie with previous > animation movie experience . > He should be able to understand the limitations of a software first > and good sense of color , light and cuts. > Director for animation movies is different from live movies . Exactly. > 5 : We need very high talented Editor for movie project , movie > project not like making a demo or TV series . > Editor will play a very key role in movie making +1000 > 7 : Need a very strong storage system ( render data will be huge , if > we try openEXR or something then also data will be huge ) No.5 again.
