Despite significantly weaker modeling and UV tools in Maya? I starter using Maya few years ago while I was learning in best (then) Polish 3D animation school. I used this software for 2 and half year, including year as professional artist. Then Blender 2.63 with ngons came up and I starter learning it and I was blown away…
Probably because of the prejudice that plagues Blender. Also, there's the whole "I Will have to use 3DS/Maya in a studio anyway". To be honest, I Find modeling in Blender super fast and super intuitive. Hotkeys are the shizzle, but I guess you got to adapt. With Blender's constant updating, it is getting better on a…

For some reason people in the blender community believe that theirs is the only choice and anyone (including pixar i guess) is an idiot for not going to blender. Personally, I have blender.... Its installed…
I haven't tried Blender since I found out about the whole left click/right click thing :P Maybe if I give it another shot I won't feel like throwing my monitor out of the window again. It seems like that's the thing, the more you know about other programs the more obscure & weird Blender feels.
But you know that you can change the left/right click? Blender is surprisingly flexible. A lot people launch Blender, it does not work like they are used to, bam they close it and then have a opinion like yours :poly142: I won't blame you for that, nor would I try to convince people to use Blender. Personally, I tried Maya…
