I hate blender vs maya threads… but Ill jump in on the action because why not.
OP says he used blender for many years, now he’s crying about maya being so different (apparently that means bad) after using it for a few months… dude seriously? Your opinion on maya is 100% relative to you, dont you see that?
I could say the exact reverse opinions as you, basically from a long time maya user point of view (except Im not using blender at all because I dont give a ****)
So you should ask yourself here, why exactly are you using maya now if its so bad and overpriced? … There you go, this discussion is pointless.
