Maya PLE to return soon

Late last year, Autodesk released a 30-day trial version of Maya 2009 and removed the free Personal Learning Edition, which enables you to use Maya without a time limit while imposing other restrictions, including adding a watermark to renders, from its website.

Maya PLE‘s disappearance has been a hot potato since then: 3D World, among other venues, has received emails and forum posts protesting the move.

We‘ve now received word via one of Autodesk‘s PR reps that the removal of Maya PLE was a mistake made when the 30-day trial was posted, and that it should be re-appearing on the Autodesk website soon. Good news all round.
