For taking up a fight with Cinema 4D, Maya needs a serious crashcourse
and lose some excess wheight.
I have collegues do stuff in Cinema 4D, anything from dynamics, multiple
projections, "just" rendering smoke with Arnold,
painting textures in Bodypaint and playing with *.psd layers and layered
shaders without bothering much.
Umhh, sitting close by, debugging a polygon mesh in Maya 2015sp6Ext1
node editor that still has connections to the
initial shading group even if it shouldn´t, finding out that
renderlayers are suddenly breaking when switching to
another render layer, loosing hair about Maya´s own layered
texture/layered shader, constantly on the edge of
my seat for not knowing if Maya will last me through this prolonged
session or not doesn´t feel like it´s time for flip flops.
I´ve started with Maya somewhere around Maya 1.5 / Maya 3.5 /Maya 4. At
least 10 years of trying to keep a stiff upper lip,
wading through deep shit and hoping for the best. Years lost with
running into stupid limitations and trying to soldier on.
I want my life back.
If I wake up on the couch, it´s because I didn´t make it to the bed
after another exhausting Maya session fighting the program,
not solving my task.
Cheers,
tim
P.S: That´s why I don´t want to commit to Autodesk, not because I fancy
being a spoiled, irresponsible single child brat showing off my
sneakers, mac book, blog and life style, sneering at anyone who doesn´t
fit my style googles. Even beer googles are more human...

It’s clearly targeted to the Cinema4D crowd obviously, designers and
kind of 1 man band artist/designers/directors running on a laptop and
darting through london on a uber expensive bicycle.
The problem is that these guys have a great tool in their hands and
its connection with After Effects is difficult to beat so I see it as
a very uninformed marketing campaign.
But may be I am wrong and they are going to sell these to my
mother-in-law too so she can do some dinosaurs and get rich.

BUT carpenters do rent some tools... not their core tools but
typically the larger more expensive tools. Maybe this campaign is not
for us. ie. The people who use 3d tools everyday. Maybe the people
that never have used 3d tools before are the focus of this campaign.
My colleagues and I have discussed this a bit and this is one of the
conclusions we came to. This is a play designed for getting new
customers and new revenue, mostly.
I still think this is campaign is completely silly, but I can say I
am honestly not surprised.
