We are doing this because we believe in Free Software (Free Software is also a part of Free Culture or rather Free Software idea is now extended to Free Culture). So there is no way we will settle for Maya when we have Blender. If people think more people will get involved if we use Maya, let them start another project with Maya. Lets see who wins :) Another comparison I heard was that, Blender is Maruti 800 and Maya is Ford <some model>. So many people are happy with Maruti 800, it gets them to work everyday. Also it is energy efficient, so it is not just size or bells and whistles, if it lets to get your work done that is enough. Plus Blender being Free Software if something cannot be done right now, we can request it and it will get added. The whole purpose of 3 Open Movie projects from Blender was to test it against real world by creating movies. They added so many missing features required to make those movies. - Praveen -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as they follow the rules: laws and constitution. -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
