I have a few questions about Maya.

1. Are any "big studios" using Maya Unlimited subd's (ie, not connect poly tools)? Are Maya's subd's any good?

2. Are any studios using Maya's native renderer?

3. Now that Maya has come way down in price, are many studios switching from apps like Lightwave to Maya?

Thanks for the info.

1. yes. i know a handfull which are using the maya ones. but not very often.

2. definitly yes. many productions don't have the money to buy a standalone renderer for extra. you don't have to forget that if you have a renderfarm you pay for every single license. mayas renderer comes with a 999 free licenses. and for some productions the look i accaptable or just fits to the style.

3. hard to say. but at least i know a big softimage house which is coworking with maya right now. a total switch is a big decision for a company. so i guess the most are using different packages side by side to take the best from everyone.
