Hi, and welcome to this updated version of the lesson on how to and where to get Maya.
Maya is a software created by Autodesk so you can go to otterness dotcom slash free Dasch trials to
get a free trial of own.
Now, if you're a student and you can prove that through their criteria that they require on their website,
you can get a full version of Maya for one year for free if you're a student.
The only thing that it has is a little Pop-Up window that says this is a student version of Maya.
You can use it for commercial purposes, which means you can't make money using that software by the
work you do with it.
The next best option is the indie license and that you can get if you go.
Currently the URL is make anything that Autodesk dot com slash Maya Dash indie.
Now the indie license is a relatively new thing and was and is celebrated by Maya community because
it is so much cheaper than the other license that you can get.
My indie has no restrictions except for how much money you can make.
I think it's maybe one hundred thousand dollars or varies depending on the country that you're living
in.
Details will be on the site after you pick what country you're in and download the software.
But basically it's a full version of Maya.
There's no lack of features and it is one tenth to one twelfth as expensive as the traditional license.
And so that's why I was so celebrated when they decided to take the indie license and offer it to more
people.
It was just something they did on a trial basis and they decided to keep it around.
So grab it while you can.
It's a one year license for roughly us.
Two hundred fifty dollars.
And that price varies depending on the country you're in.
Now, the alternative, the final option that you have that I doubt anyone will pick if they have an
indie version available, is the full subscription of Miah, which is one thousand six hundred and twenty
dollars.
So the indie license is a steal based on the traditional pricing that we're used to with Maya.
So I highly, highly recommend you go grab the Indian license on the make anything that I would ask
dot com Maya Dash indie website.
And if you're not sure if you want to put down even that two hundred fifty dollars or whatever it may
be for the country you're in, definitely get the free trial for 30 days and you can see, get through
some of this course and see if it's something you want to continue to pursue and put down that that
money to get the indie license.
But I encourage you, if you are interested in your committed to learning and using Maya on a yearly
basis, two hundred fifty dollars per year is a bit of a steal.
So definitely go check that out.
Thanks for watching this updated lesson on how and where to get Autodesk.
Maya and I will continue to update things as they change.
This course was made in twenty eighteen point six.
My version, the latest as of recording this lesson is twenty twenty point four.
Not much has changed between the version that you're watching in this course and the version available
today from twenty eighteen to twenty twenty.
There's not been a ton of updates in the core features of Maya, so everything still applies.
And as there's new features, I will update the course and we'll do my best there.
So thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next lesson.
