I think Maya is a great option because it's industry-standard and very powerful as well. If this tool is made affordable, It could potentially dominate the market.

Pros

Maya hits its peak when it comes to 3D modeling. I used it to realize a 3D animation about the AFCON events in 2022. The animation was about a discussion between Alexandre Song and Aboubakar Vincent. What really amazed me was how performant and realistic the characters were - I designed every single object in the video from particles, dust, football field, birds in the sky, and streets to the main characters.Everything seemed to be real and professional and I got to set different angles for the camera in order to produce realistic effects just like when two people are interviewed on TV at the same time.This made me conclude that Maya could help me produce a piece that was supposed to be done by two or more producers faster and even better.- I like it because it's so powerful and provides extensive functionalities to automate workflows.

Cons

A major reason why I switched from using Maya is because the software is expensive - for a freelancer, paying over $1000+ is not a joke, it's super huge.- It can also be challenging when you're just getting started.

Maya is a very powerful 3D design software that caters for many different needs. It is loaded with features and tools to aid in creation and make the process simpler. It can get overwhelming how dense Maya is and at times can be difficult to use. Overall it definitely is a premium tool with a premium price but can very well be worth it.

Pros

Maya is a really powerful 3D design software that is filled with loads of features to handle all needs. The presets it comes with speeds up design time by a lot and I am able to finish projects faster. I make use of Maya a lot for animation as I feel the animator and animation tools are very versatile and powerful, perfect for complex character animations.

Cons

While it's a pro that Maya has so many features, it's a con that it is very difficult to learn how to use all of these features. After using Maya for so long I still haven't fully figured it out. Maya can also be pretty expensive. Rendering takes long with complex models.

The interface of Maya is easy to navigate. Good graphics as well and easy access to tools. Every year, a new feature is added to make the software easier to use.

I used it mainly for character design and some animations. The final rendering quality and the modeling capacity are the functions that most impressed me.

Pros

I understand that "Maya" is one of the most used softwares for 3D designs and animations, I have used it and it has seemed quite more complex than other products for what I needed it, but it is important to say that at a professional level it is the most prestigious software

Cons

What I did not like is precisely its complexity, I think the tools could be easier to use. I understand the logic of the program and the number of functions, but that undermines the ease of use. Some options I didn't even understand
