I need some advice! I am a trained in Softimage 3.8 Extreme and I love the program! I want to buy a personal copy of softimage 3.9 Extr. as they have dropped there prices(1450$-1900$).But so has Maya4 Fundementles..(1900$). As XSI is too big for my pocket, I have to settle for less. They are also not publishing anymore 3.9 soft books, where as Maya is really pushing the boundries on that front. Could anyone shed some light on that for me? I am currently a graphic designer and seriously want to start moving into 3D animation as a professional, this being the reason that I want a personal copy at home.
(Thus my question....should I buy Softimage3.9 EXT. or Maya Fund..?)
Cheers!!!
