I’m back with Maya after a long time away from the program, last Maya I used was version 7 and from what I can remember the UI killed my experience. Maya 2011 is buggy but so is Max 2011, if they can sort out the bugs and make a few improvements like better product interaction between all 3 programs(Maya,Max,Softimg then we will all be happy! I’m in love with with Maya right now !

Coming from c4d has been rough with so many features missing and all these crashes. Some things are still doable, but take ten times longer. But then again it’s not fair comparing a Beamer with an old Kia. What I really miss is a decent material manager, in viewport rendering, adjustable default lighting, a decent text editor for mel/py with adjustable fonts, background, etc (diagram interface with nodes would be a dream), anything even approaching arrays or mograph’s functionality, a decent interface for rendering and some scene objects/presets, beingable to have multiple open scenes for copy/paste and reference and I could just go on I guess. Oh - and don’t get me started on the 3-button mouse thiing. Those haven’t been made in ten years. Decent support for two-button mice w/ scroll wheel, trackpads, etc and a utility to customize those MMBs are essential. If Modo, c4d, Blender, and others can do it, so can Maya. Really.
Development of Maya effectively stopped when it was bought by Autodesk and nothing essential has since then been added. It explains why most online renders in Maya look like from the 90s when compared with modo or c4d’s output- really dark and grey and with horrendous texturing. What is the total buzzkill though is how buggy the program is and how little it adheres to modern interface guidelines. There are hundreds of bugs and a lot of them are show-stoppers. Maya in its current state is an embarrassment and overpriced. Autodesk should take a good look at Adobe to see what cross-platform development and human interface can look like. The advances between versions amount to the output of one software engineer full-time plus part-time qa assistant. I see no evidence of platform dependent coding or testing. Hire a decent team!
Well, you asked.

I think you should sit down and spend more time learning the program maya rather than trying to compare it to a program that is not even close to the complexity and productivity of Maya. I work with scenes that are in the billions of polygons. Hundreds of dynamic simulations (fluid, cloth, Particles) they all work together. The secrete to keeping maya working and performing its best is good hardware and learning the program. You have to actually learn the program, not just try and fumble around in hopes that it will just figure out what you are doing. I spent the time to learn the program and now instead of feeling restricted to presets and plugins I can do everything inside of Maya. This program is worth the time to learn.

Injustice is the lack of Maya
i I’m from users almost 8 years old Maya with the software I’m working.
I have some suggestions for improving the current situation Maya.
First developed in parts of the Maya gets little work
In part
Maya Dynamics
Maya Hair
Maya Hair was very old and traditional system, you should think of a new and more professional to have this software.
I plug the hair cut I suggest to try this plugin in the Maya have core software.
Maya dynamics make hard goods sector, particularly weak.
I suggest the physics engine instead put
Maya is very flexible because the same system image system soft ice does not make for Maya
Maya software is extraordinary that please do not destroy all look toward the soft image and gone Houdini
This software is a rivalry gets out of the cycle
Please note this software to do more
Thank you
Amin

I love the new interface but there are SO many issues with things not working in 2011 it really squishes the positives. I find it hard to believe that AD didnt see these issues. Why would u ship such a buggy release. We pay ALOT of money for Maya and to release such a bug ridden release is just an outrage. Mad in NYC.
