you can't compare them out of the box or per maintenance cost. and it will still be a problem for small studios, all of a sudden having to hire an extra employee, who's only there so there regular team can function. You could argue this creates jobs, but what it really does is take two wheels of your car and replace them with wheels of cheese and have a cheese maker on standby to replace the cheese wheels every time they break down. Tortured analogy check! Sorry to TD's, i do not equate you all to cheese makers :P On 9 September 2014 17:30, Mirko Jankovic <[email protected]> wrote: > In short, > > With Maya you workaround, with Softimage you work > > On Tue, Sep 9, 2014 at 6:18 PM, Paulo Cesar Duarte <[email protected] > > wrote: > >> 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.
