Heheheh... that's exactly how I felt with 3DS Max. Didn't help that the damn program kept crashing every time I tried to save anything.

But with Maya I did this in about 2 weekends. Unfortunately, being such a newbie with the program, I let that thing get to an unmanagable polygon count. Looks great, but I had to scrap it to start over with a more tolerable size.

Don't get discouraged though... Maya is tons of fun once things click
