Quote - Unless you have a job in 3D already or are a -current- student, chances are you're using Maya illegally from some sort of warez download, given the extreme price of the app...
So when a prospective employer expects a new entry into the industry to already have experience with it, they're really expecting someone who is willing to break a competitor's copyrights.
The rest of us have to learn on apps at other ends of the spectrum, and maybe we might take a class and learn Maya, but we aren't going to be using it until we either steal it or enter the professional industry under a well funded employer.
An astute observation to say the least. I know I sure don't have 2Gs to drop on a program. I'd rather spend some of that on upgrades to my computer. Not only that my wife would have my head her being the CFO and all...LOL!!!!
