Thanks folks for all your support and suggestions. For Rony and JTD : guys, i am aware of Blender and what it can do. and i am currently working towards learning that. But i am a professional Animator and i have a registered company with 16 people working with me. and we are all Maya professionals since the last 4 years. We already have Licensed copies of Maya with us which ships with Windows, MAC and Linux versions.
HEHE: here is something that happened a few days ago with us. A pcb design package (which i have talked about off and on) using a stupid dongle for copy protection and running on doze - the last package which required doze (actually dosemu). The dongle konked out and the company (now with new owners) requires us to upgrade and buy new dongles. Never mind that we can crack the dongle and get rid of it. To cut a long story short i am now forced to do what we put off for long - switching over to geda and pcb. Nothing like a real simultaneous pain in the ass and the pocket to make one do things i suppose.
Non FOSS software ALWAYS bites.
