Maya
 

Hi everybody
I want to ask about maya the famous 3d design program .
I know that there is a copy of it that works on linux but it is not free , and there is a free copy but it works only on mac & win so did anybody tried to run this copy using wine ? I want to know if it will work before I download it .
So I am waiting the answer .
Thanks

I've tried to run maya in linux, using wine, and just in case the graphics part was throwing it off, with cedega as well. Neither would load. If you looking for a 3d program, I would refer you to http://www.blender3d.org It is exteremly powerful, and once you get the hang of the non-standard interface, you can work very rapidly, due to the enourmous amount of hotkeys.

I agree. Blender is extremely good, and unless you plan to get deep into non-linear animation, it can do just about anything Maya can do. Plus, it's free.

I know about blender but I thought if maya works with wine I will use the huge number of tutorials out there and of course the big community but thanks anyway .

Blender has a huge number of tutorials and a massive community also. www.elysiun.com ;). It might still be worth a try to get it on ur computer, I have trouble getting almost anything to work with wine so...

OK man thanks

Yeah, Blender rocks. But I would recommend another program for low polygon modelling: Wings3D. It is a perfect complement to Blender.
