Am i missing somthing....

you can download the PLE version

or maybe the upgrade even? who knows but Im sure mr iron_tick
wouldnt be as stupid as to advertise illegal software

AFAIK, Maya 6 PLE is not availble yet. However, Annual Maintenance subscribers can download Maya 6 direct from Alias.

Im have an Unlimited license with Full Annual Maintanance.

Lucky bastard. :p

damn... :p

heheh i said I'm instead of I... i need to unplug

very sweet dude!

soft selection tool is pretty interesting. It's not like the one in 3d studio. It's more like a gradiant from a vertice or point instead of a brush like operation. the advantage of this is that you can use scale and rotate on the area youve soft selected.

Hair is nice although i dont like how it has its own gravity built into it. a work around appears to be to convert it into poly's, maybe this will remove the gravity effect.

Deformers for particles is great. you can do the scene in Matrix revolutions where the squidies are coming into Zion with ease. twist them turn them whatever you want.\

Fluid effects cache is larger but havent messed with it yet. It appears that you can create your own temporary cache with more control over advanced features.

damn... :p

ooooh, whats full annual maintanance?

Do they still send you the CD though. I'd hate to have to d/l everytime i needed it.
