As was mentioned, I tried Maya before but found the tools too hard to find. As I recall, it seemed more like a Macintosh UI when I last tried it. This was some 3+ years ago not long before Autodesk bought them out. Has it changed much since then?

Why do you think Maya would be a better software solution for me? I know that their nCloth system is reputed to be faster and more responsive and that it's considered a better solution for digital film production whereas 3DS Max is more for the gaming industry but would it fit the requirements that I'm looking for it to fill?
