Maya

Yep Maya is cool and I have used it as well, but I am concerned now that Autodesk has taken over Alias that mac users will have to suffer. What do you guys think about that?

I forgot that Autodesk bought Alias. I wonder if they'll stick with 3ds max or Maya. I can't imagine them trying to merge the two, it seems like that would take too much work, and instead would just implement certain [patented?] features from into the other.

Or maybe they'll keep both products, which seems very counterproductive, but if there's money to be had from maintaining both, they just might.
