>>5806542as an animation student i've tried both maya and blender and I have to say maya fucking sucks, its overly priced for personal use and it has an outdated UI, not to mention that even the paid version is no were near stable and it can crash even with the most basic stuff, blender is well optimized and with a more intuitive UI, some people shit on blender saying that maya is better just for really specific stuff that will not matter on the long run. you can give blender a try anon, its sculpting system is really good
