I do know there are few of you who have the student licenses here but it makes me wonder how most people get updates super quick, and then have the balls to show off the work. Im probably one of few maybe the only dude on this forum that uses Maya Complete 2008...I have to pay for my upgrades. I dont have the luxury stuff of hair etc, not that it bothers me as such as Ive still yet to come across good work that has used the features to their full potential. I think the masses get it illegally and also just because its 'Maya Unlimited' and has the full spec. Its become like a fashion accessory in that respect.

Ive only ever seen one good model using a hair plugin (shave) on this forum and that was by a someone that did a Polar Bear for a challenge, it was excellent. Ive still yet to see better.

anyway Im ranting , I'd better go....
