Re: [gentoo-user] Maya
Well, when I said commercial version, I meant the off the shelf product, which you do have to buy. You can probably try their demo version and see how you like it. I haven't played with their free version (assuming they have a linux version of it). -- Samir On 3/27/07, Mick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On Tuesday 27 March 2007 04:13, Samir Faci wrote: > As far as I know the learning edition isn't available for linux, I might be > wrong. > > They do have their commercial version which works great on linux.

I haven't forgotten all these "little" things that Mr. Lucas and his team have taken care of to make my favorite movie, but I was trying not to get far too OT (like now) ;-) Cheers to all fans of "Star Wars"!

Re: [gentoo-user] Maya
As far as I know the learning edition isn't available for linux, I might be wrong. They do have their commercial version which works great on linux. Unlike other company that came out with "linux" versions which turned out to be re-wrap of their 1.0 release of their software from 10 years ago written for linux, the Maya software works really well, and it seems very feature rich. (Not that I can make heads or tails of half the features it has). Hope that helped. -- Samir On 3/26/07, Mick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On Sunday 25 March 2007 18:57, Neil Walker wrote: > Mick wrote: > > This may be a silly question, but I am trying to understand if Maya is > > free for Linux - despite it being a commercial product. > > > > The License page says that we should go to > > http://www.aliaswavefront.com/spar to register, but the link is dead. > > > > What do you know about this package and the license thing? > > Hmm.

The License page says that we should go to http://www.aliaswavefront.com/spar to register, but the link is dead. What do you know about this package and the license thing? Hmm.
