on the official web site Maya sells for about 6 thousand. I can get a learning version from a web site that sells learning software for about 300. why is the learning version so much cheaper ? what are the things I cant do with the learning version that I can do with the other version ?
I believe legally you can't sell your work from it (and you need to be involved in a school). It's also likely to be missing the Unlimited components (liquids, for one). I'm sure a sales rep from Alias could give you the real rundown on it.
Don't they have a free learning edition from their website? It watermarks your renders, but it's basically a full version.
