Anyone know if an installer is available for native 64-bit version? If so, I would definitely ditch Blender, as the three professional animators I talked to all used Maya.

But, without a 64-bit version, I don't think the render times would be acceptable X_X

Anyone know if there is a 64-bit PLE version? I know three professional animators, and they all use Maya; so it would be cool to have the experience with the app.

Without a 64-bit version, I think I'll stick to Blender.
