Now I can record the video for my next game. :)" This makes me wish I had talent. At least now I (and many like me) won't have to pay any money just to dabble with Maya.

    Alias has offered this personal learning edition version of Maya for years now; they're just announcing that the latest release of Maya, 5.0, is also available in the PLE form.

    Don't get me wrong--it's great that they do this. There's just no real news here.

    The PLE version has a few limitations compared to the version you pay for, but they're really amazingly small in the grand scheme of things.
