pasitheaOMFG I _LOVE_ Maya! Last night I used the NURBS sculpting tool for the first time! It is amazingly unbelievably utterly fantastic in combination with my Wacom tablet!
The last time I tried to make anything in a 3D animation program it was such a major pain in the butt I had to sculpt everything out of polygonal objects and deform them and logically OR and AND them to get what I wanted and they ALWAYS had unpredictable results and would spaz out. Maya NURBS sculpting is like modeling clay. It is _SO_ easy!!!
My very first sculpture in Maya!
EDIT: Darnit! LJ won't let me embed flash.
So far I am just totally ecstatic with Maya! It's fantastic! I also haven't yet had a single glitch hiccup or crash. *drool* and the programming language is almost identical to one of the languages I use at work, so I can already add my own wonky modules to it. I'm in hog heaven!
More later as I learn it! bye for now!!! :)

Date: 2003-09-15 06:15 pm (UTC)I had an old Intuos 12x12 that I got for free but it was really too big for me (and only worked on PCs) so I got this one about three months ago. It's much higher resolution and such. I really like it.
Stacey has a 4x5 grapphire (the $99 wacom tablet) and it is actually somewhat better suited to her stroke-length/ drawing sensitivity. So... sorta varies with what you're doing I guess.
