  1. I hate dark Interfaces with grey text and tiny icons. I really hate it. You have to strain your eyes to find and be able to read all the links, tabs, and mini text. You need a microscope for that. Why grey text? Just like Blender and other dark grey interfaced programs, this one is no different. It's designed for teenagers who have eagle eyes, but for middle aged men, this is impossible to work on.

  2. Haha, I know this short thread is quite old, but I'm just now stumbling across it again. Anyway, yes, I am quite aware and as my instructor keeps telling me about the industry standard. I do plan on learning Maya and currently in my proceeding game art class, we have moved onto animation in Maya. I mentioned Blender mainly because the skills between apps are roughly transferable and with such a large community, it's just easier to learn Blender and transfer those skills over while learning Maya.

  3. I'm at an animation school currently, for me, its all about the work environment. Lets be honest, would you actually have the motivation and willpower to put in the same amount of hours watching tutorials and whatnot, by yourself, with so many distractions around? I sure as hell know I wouldn't be able to. Not because I don't like my work, but because i'm lazy. Tutorials are great and can teach you a lot, but the depth of knowledge and understanding you can get from a tutor is invaluable.
