Anyone use either of the two 3D program I just mentioned? One of my booth duties at Macworld will be running either (or both, my choice) of those apps on half my demo station. The problem? I've never used Maya (I have a tutorial DVD to watch - been through about 20 minutes of it so far) and I last used Lightwave some six years ago - and only in a limited fashion (the menu system has only gotten more unintuitive).

If anyone has any experience and any good ideas for simple stuff that would make a half-decent demo (or pointers to any content that I can slap into a quick self-running show) that would be great. Message me on here, follow up to this post or email me.

Right now I'm leaning more toward Maya over Lightwave because the interface is infinitely more interesting to a viewer and it seems to make better use of 3D hardware acceleration for working previews.
