[SOLVED] blender vs maya

computerboy267 · 01-22-2008, 10:57 PM

i downloaded the ple version of maya a few weeks ago and came across blender some days ago
blender seems to me a solid program with a lot of capabilities
which one is better
which one should i learn( i want o make still images and a few animations)
or should i learn blender first and then go for maya as its a more advanced program.
please help me.

maya would be the better of the two. if you knew maya you'd get a job quicker. keep in mind that anything you render in maya will have a watermark across it. but other than that it is a full working version of maya.

well blender is 100% free. you just download it and use it. while maya ple is free it is designed for learning purposes.
but as i said above it think maya is the better of the two. maya would give you more job opportunities.
