SOFTWARE REVIEW
Maya Creative
PRICE £280/$300 minimum for 100 days | COMPANY Autodesk | WEBSITE autodesk.co.uk
This is a bold move from Autodesk that looks very much like a repositioning of its Maya LT option although, at the time of writing, that remains on the market.
For those like me, who were around 20 years ago, you may remember Maya used to offer two versions of their software; the Complete version and the Ultimate version. The Maya team have always recognised its full feature set is not required by all artists, and in an attempt to appeal to more artists they’ve generally made a cut-down version available. This concerted effort over the years to make Maya accessible to smaller studios and individual freelancers shows what their motives are. So, what’s the difference with Maya Creative and who might it appeal to?
