Not sure if this is new but I always thought Maya was something you bought so never really looked into it.

Maya PLE is a cut down learning version.. It's no way the full one, trust me on this

PLE is just to learn on, it has limits but there's more than enough there to learn with, so people don't have any excuse to pirate it

And yeah its kinda old news, Maya PLE has been around quite a while

yeah, i dont know the limitations but i know renders get watermarked. should be fine for hl2 stuff though and learning obviously, hence learning edition

I downloaded the Maya PLE like a week ago, and I can say I like Maya much more than 3Ds max and Lightwave(I've used those ones).

It's just easier for me, so I'm actually considering buying Maya 5. :thumbs:

ukfilmer. If he actually wants to be legal and pay for it like a grown up and be respected by other Maya users who will then make an effort to help him learn instead of giving his details to Alias. Don't put him off.

Ta!

Wrong--PLE is a full version of Maya Complete 5.0, only with a different format (not importable into regular Maya, as I recall), watermarks and different license.

*looks at his fully licenced and paid for Maya 5 Unlimited*

You sure its not a learning version? I see no watermarks or limits on my full version..

From the Alias website:

Exactly my point, its not the full version, you can't do anything commercial with it. So its not a full version

You pay for the licence to use it for commercial work, hence full version
