Once you learn it though, it is the most wonderful interface I've ever seen. Although I do like 3ds max's particle engine better. As far as my portfolio goes, my photography portfolio has to get put up first, which should hopefully be in a few days. Once my backlog of customer and business work gets out of the way, I'll get back to my personal stuff :) Maya’s learning curve is what deters most newer 3D types.

(But then I've used Blender more, and familiarity usually does get preference. :)) My 3D skills are still embryonic, but I've decided to throw my heart into it and really get good. I just need to put the time in...

Gonna have to watch this one. I use Maya almost exclusively these days, but I do miss open source. If only my modeling were up to snuff with my animation, rigging, texturing and lighting, but that's where practice comes in :) Ah, blender… Gonna have to watch this one.
