Softimage users having a first experience with Maya: http://www.escapestudios.com/softimage-artists-take-on-maya-escape-studios/
"To summarise, Maya is extremely powerful, as is Softimage. Maya does not have the eloquence or the innovative interface and is overly complex but it has been designed to be entirely open. Maybe too open for this week’s class. This has perplexed a lot of the broadcast/commercials participants this week who want to turn a job round quickly who thrive on the structure and organization of the exquisitely designed explorer. Developing their pipeline in Maya for these guys will be a tough call but they will have left this course with a good understanding of the difference in approach, what Maya is all about and what lies ahead of them." Cheers. Paulo Duarte
