Obtained a copy of C4D earlier, had a little play around.
It's damn confusing, but I managed to create the below...didn't turn out too bad. ![]() and with a texture mapped: ![]() |

Pretty cool, there's a big improvement with the texture mapping. Yeah that's the problem with those programs, the learning curve is massive. I would like to play around with Maya but I'll bet it's even harder (and like $3000).

heh you got it.. Maya's coding as well as rendering, whereas C4D is just, well, rendering. Maya's like properly professional. Once the piece as been made, you need to map a texture to it, and then finally render it in a very detailed, very large finished version.
Off Topic: The film Finding Nemo wouild have taken around 9 years to render on a home computer, if that gives any idea the scale of these movies, these programs and their requriemens. And another, slightly more obvious as to what it is, and the material looks nicer

awesome, yeah, but maya has more potential than anyones ever used, I say they make a one level game where there one battle or a SWAT thing, but make everything as realistic as they can to the full potential with maya, I'd pay to get a 10 minute game like that, though I'd doubt our GPUS can take that unless its sli'ed

i used maya at university when i went on an engineering course coz of my high grades
its awesome, you know the scene in independance day when the alien ship blows up the white house, that was done with maya and we got to use the software itself, on linux computers, it was awesome, obviously we didnt do anything spectacular but we had fun making things jump around screen, they have the full license for it but dont do a lot of animations as it would take forever, they make stills at university for final projects and to make portfolios for students
