I am a hobbyist and I find it very frustrating that if I make a text sign in maya and bring it over to blender to change the file type to bring it into secondlife, blender breaks my mesh. I find that indeed I cannot make it in maya I need to learn how to make a text mesh sign in blender instead. If maya lt had an exporter I would be able to use maya lt. I have spend 6 years learning maya but I am a hobbyist. we need Dae files in secondlife I have been in secondlife for 15 years. more and more I am being forced to use blender. I find also that most of my friends in secondlife that do mesh are using blender because of that.
Even tho Maya lt is now affordable to use we still cannot get our meshes into secondlife without bringing them into blender to convert and more and more of my firends are learning blender cause simple things we need to do like make hair or plants isnt available to us and so we learn how more and more in blender. and to us maya lt is becoming more and more obsolete, and unusable.
