The primary goal of Maya Creative is apparently to fill the gap between lower-end indie subscriptions available to individuals earning less than $100,000 per year and larger studios. This more affordable and flexible version of Maya is a great option for anyone looking to scale capacity or access professional 3D tools,” Autodesk stated in a blog post announcing the release. “We’re launching Maya Creative to make content creation more accessible by lowering the barrier to entry for artists at smaller facilities. Maya Creative will only be available through Autodesk’s token-based payment system and will cost users roughly $90 per month, as compared to $225 per month for the standard Maya subscription. It will also only be available for MacOS and Windows environments. The new version will remove certain features and functionality, including the ability to load third-party plugins, soft and rigid body dynamics and cloth and hair toolsets. Subscription includes AutoCAD, specialized toolsets, and apps. Be very careful about the interest you get charged! Probably not worth it.Software company Autodesk has just announced the upcoming release of Maya Creative, a low-cost version of its flagship Maya 3D animation software. However, the subscription is what will cost you in the long run.įinally, I’m always suspicious of “financing”. These Autodesk resellers have nice discounts and promotions on the base package–just ask for a quote or add to the cart. (And upgrades beyond 3 years have higher “legacy” pricing.) Also, in a software base as vast as Maya, there are bound to be bugs, so you have to decide whether you want to live with those issues for 3 years at a time. This is the studio price that, for many solopreneurs and smaller studios out there, is a bit hard to swallow. However you need to wait exactly 3 years between upgrades to make that a cost-saving scheme. 3D Studio Max licenses retail for 1,545/year or 195/month as an ongoing subscription. They’ve priced upgrades such that it costs a little less to skip versions and upgrade than to buy subscription and always be up to date. Depending on which state/reseller you purchase from, they may or may not charge sales tax (be sure to check “use tax” rules come April 15th). Actually, Maya retails for $3,495 and subscription is $595. Autodesk Maya separates edge aliasing settings from shading aliasing parameters to offer you greater control over image quality and performance.
