Maya 5 PLE Now Available
Aspiring Animator’s Alert! If you’re itching to make a short film with one of the best pieces of software on the market (in my opinion) then you should get the FREE Maya 5 Personal Learning Edition(TM) from Alias. A beginner’s guide is available for purchase with a disk copy of the software. This is the same software that earned an Academy Award in March of 2003.
If you’d like to see the kind of film you could make using Maya (or similar software), take a look at 405 The Movie. This short film really catapulted the filmmakers, Bruce Branit and Jeremy Hunt, into the limelight. (You will notice they used a software package other than Maya, but, hey, you can learn on Maya for free with the PLE.)
“Reality is something you rise above.”
