Aliased released the Personal Learning Edition of Maya 7 which is available for download for free to anyone wishing to learn how to use Maya. The program will have almost all the features of the pay-for version and will restrict the use to non-commercial applications by using a different file extension from the pay-for version and the watermarking of images created by the PLE.
