The way we've heard it, the reason the crew used Poser Pro to animate RWBY is because Monty insisted on it, due to being used to Poser Pro and having its keyboard shortcuts memorized. He even had a habit of ripping unneeded keys off his keyboard. He didn't want to spend time learning how to use Maya and memorizing its shortcuts, so even though other animators on the crew knew how to use Maya, he insisted that RWBY be made with Poser Pro instead.

Though, recently, Kerry said that it took until now to get enough funding for Maya, so it may also be that they didn't have enough money to get Maya for the entire animation team.
