Graphics program.

Has anybody used Maya? Is it hard to learn? How much does it cost? Do I have to have a beefy PC to use it?

Maya is a 3D program, and that means that :

1) Is very expensive
2) Very hard to learn (you will need some classes, except if you know to use 3d studio)
3) It needs a very very good pc to work on. One of my associates who is working with Maya has a dual zeon pc and this is just a workstation for him. Nothing really special....

I played an hour with Maya some years before, really cool (if you need this program)

but searchrentals12 why not visiting the maya site to get the price info?

I think it costs more than 2000 euros

The price is OK if you need it...;) I sold 3d CAD systems for 20.000 euro a license some years before

I think Maya has a free version as well, called "Personal Learning Edition" this version is fully functional but adds a watermark to any output generated. So you cant use this for 'production work' but its great to check out the program and see what it can do.

Thank you everyone for your info. You are so kind. I hope to here from some of you soon. If you need help with anything let me know OK. Later.
