I am planning on subscribing to Maya indie since my future career depends on it. I hope I'm not sounding like an oaf considering I'm new to 3d, but this is how I feel right now. The kind of features and tools available are incredible.īut is Maya usable? It is, just comes with an extra dose of rip out your hair frustration. I've come to a realization that if you're just a 3D artist and not planning on doing any mainstream industry work, blender is just way better. It could also be because of strained deadlines leaving little from for overhauling an industry standard software. ![]() So they will not change anything more than they have to. Unfortunately, if you're in the VFx industry, and I've been told this my many, Maya is standard. I am an experienced film maker and I junked Adobe when I realised they just didn't give a damn about their customers. I saw this in an interview with the creator of Blender where he details out how much Autodesk makes from max and Maya subscriptions. They'd rather focus resources on other CAD softwares that make way more money. They do enough to keep it running, but nothing more. The problem is, for autodesk, believe it or not, the entertainment division is not a priority. I'm a student who has just graduated in VFX and I've seen so many issues with it that could be fixed. I've worked with maya for the better part of 17 years now, and while it has a lot of frustrating things to it and a lot that can be improved, it's far from being the crash-ridden mess that people say it is, and yeah if you're going to come and say it's unusable then I will counter with my own experience and the fact that various industries use it extensively. Maya has had cycles of stability and instability. ![]() In fact the last crash I got was more than six months ago. But do I get crashes everyday? No, I don't. Just yesterday I got a crash and I lost about 30 minutes of work. I'm not saying Maya is perfect, or that it never crashes. ![]() They key term there being "uses" which, if Maya was "unusable", then wouldn't that be an impossibility? So I counter with the fact that most of the industry at large uses Maya. One of these assertions, yours, posits that Maya is "unusable". Since you decided to come here with anecdotes and open with an assertion of Maya being "unusable", I follow with another assertion.
