Unreal! The Free Maya Download!

Amazing! The generous folks at Autodesk have made a personal edition of Maya 2011 (computer animation software used in Pixar and the Star Wars movies) available for download! What's the catch? Well, any images or animations you create have a small "watermark logo" on them, and the file is quite large (Appr.250MB). This means a dial up user would have to wait about 10 hours to download it! It's a small price to pay, in our opinion. Here's some info from the official site:
