Maya is releasing free personal-use version? (Not a demo)

[underdog]

yes it is going to be a slightly stripped version of maya complete, which is ~$8k or so... The learning edition will have waterrmarked renders and non-commercial file format...ie scenes made in learning edition wont work in regular maya. Also no support for plug-ins.

This is just a demo. They are just trying to make it sound like something different so ppl. get into it.

Thats a bit cynical. This release is somewhat more functional than your traditional demo (no feature stumps or time-limits)

I guess the big question is how intrusive the watermark will be.

[underdog]

can't be any worse than the Brazil watermark......

I thought it was Maya Unlimited, with watermarks, can't use in your portfolio, and it had 2 plugins-Shockwave Exporter and something else..
