Alias|Wavefront Releases Free Version of Maya

Posted by pudge on from the free-as-in-you-can-afford-it dept.

Gribflex writes "There's good news today for those of us who are heavy into 3D modelling and animation. Alias|Wavefront has released a free version of their popular software Maya. That's right, free." Maya Personal Learning Edition, for Windows and Mac OS X, offers unrestricted access to the features of Maya, but displays a watermark on images, uses a special non-commercial file format, and plug-ins are not supported.

    Leaves a watermark... doesn't use plugins... non-commercial format...

    Ok, so is this a demo? I'm confused as to what seperates this from, say, CoolEdit Pro Demo or Paint Shop Pro, or any of the other semi-crippled products available for test use.

    Anybody know?
