well thats a let down..
I was sitting around reading vid tutorials on maya when I discovered that PLE give the friggin hideous advertiement all over the renders. I thought well how much is the full to get rid of this mess, come to find out you have to pay six grand simply to get rid of this? how the hell are you guys affording this without professional sponsors?

Uh I gotthe price from maya's mains website. cheack the online store. To me its a ripoff to pay $2000 to get rid of watermarks..Im still trying to figure out how all the newer modelers get ahold of such softwaresince I really doubt everyone can buy this straight out, or how they " test" maya PLE when you cant see your final work.Originally posted by mtmckinley
$2000 for complete, which gives all most people need. Still not cheap, but not quite $6k either.
In short way too many red flags being raised on the software.

Lightwave is actually quite affordable right now and with the upgrade coming soon it is a very professional and powerful package.
I haven't used Blender, but have seen some interesting and impressive things done with it.
There is also a SLEW of less expensive apps that focus more on modeling and rendering with basic keyframe animation.
Think positive, dude!

It is all well and good saying it is a ripoff "just to remove watermarks" but if I am not mistaken, it is also against the agreement that you make when you download PLE to use any of the images commercially.
The purpose of the watermark is at least partially to stop you from doing that. If you wanted to commercially produce any images using maya, then you would have to pay. no doubt if you were involved in a commercial enterprise, you would be expecting to have better returns than $2000, so the price is not that bad. Add to all of this that Alias/Autodesk is a business, and it's not like they can make money by giving away their software for free
