#77806 Yeah, I would say to just get a free program. Something like Blender would be best (http://www.blender.org/). Blender is a free animating and modeling program.
And if you do decide to go with Blender, then I would suggest checking out Cgboorman's Blender tutorials. He starts from very beginner to decently advanced. I learned from him, and do not regret it one bit. http://www.youtube.com/user/cgboorman/v ... rid&view=1

#77863 maya is a way better program than blender. Blender is basically an open-source copy of it but doesn't have the elegance of interface or the ease of use which is usual with open-source software

#78661 Basically as you stated above, the UI is the only difference.
I've gotten used to it so it's fine for me.
