C'mon Leonis, do you really have Maya? I see you've got a book, but that screenshot is Cinema4d <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />
Leonis, have you tried importing .OBJ's instead of opening them? What kind of problems are you having?
I have been creating Martian landscape OBJ's in bryce5 based on MGS MOLA data and importing them just fine.I succesfully imported one as big as 923mb, it took forever but it worked. I do think its funny that you are complaining about being foced to learn MAYA while other fiend just to see it in action.
BTW, how much did the change of platform cost you? I'm looking into a dual athlon for rendering myself.
I'll throw up an image or two today if I get a chance.

But as a $7000US app this thing is slow, rendering quality is bad, and NO MP support!
ps. I didn't buy this thing....A studio in New York sent me this copy
Come on, give us a better screenshot than that, would ya!?!
Default rendering sucks on any platform...
Are you running on a G4? Or a G3? (I ask, because I see the 'old-school' Apple CRT sitting there on your desk...)
I'm hoping for the update to make it compliant with 10.1 comes out soon.
BUMP!
Come on Leonis, put up some new screenshots!!!
Show us Maya in all of it's glory!
(Now if I can just get in on an Academic Program deal...)
Cheers!
;^p
I still don't understand why A|W doesn't post the updaters on their web...ugh...
I have lots of screen redraw problem with my setup....hope the updater could fix it
Anyway.....I don't really like this app. Very hard to learn and don't know why I can't open any OBJ files
Well...it's been more than two weeks playing around with it.....still don't get used to it
There are some screen redraw bugs with the app.....maybe OpenGL thing....
Anyway....here's the screen cap with the tutorial I am doing.....
BTW....the installer CD has returned back to them....sorry can't take the pic of them

Tried both open and import and still get the 'error reading file' error .....I don't know WTF is with this
I already have a PC but I need to get a better video card.....It's an 1.1Ghz Athlon PC but with a Rage II card, iconic, eh?
