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.

    Gee, I dunno, I kind of expected source code, or full version only for non-commercial, or available on something other than just 'doze and muck, or output files that weren't proprietary - you know, the usual THINGS WE THINK OF WHEN USING THE WORD FREE. This is some tacky, crippled, handout. No thanks.
