Maya LT 2015 or Blender 2.71?

Blender. I’ve gone from Maya to modo, and now to blender, and I am in love with it. For me, 2.71 was the pivotal release where I felt blender was ready to become my primary 3D DCC. I just briefly tested Maya LT on steam when the price dropped, but I went right back to blender after a couple hours of modeling. Trying Maya LT actually reaffirmed and further cemented my recent decision to switch to blender. I hope that Epic continues to support blender. Their efforts to get blender working solid with UE4 is one of the reasons I’m excited about UE4. Blender and Unreal just feel like the perfect combo to me.

I feel the same way too. I am using Blender and I am still getting use to it. I am more familiar with Blender than I am with any other 3d software so I wanted to stick with Blender. I thought about switching to Maya LT since the price change because it seems that is should be easier to import from Maya LT to UE4. I like Blender and I was very happy to find out the Blender and UE4 are working together to make the two programs workflow easier. I have been working with Blender 2.71 release 2 candidate and it seems very promising. I am working on a character(it’s actually a tutorial on Blender Cookie http://cgcookie.com/blender/) this week and I will try getting it to work in UE4. Static meshes are not a problem but I will see how much trouble I have with an animated one. Be blessed and be good.
