Maya is a professional 3D modeling application created by Alias, now supported by Autodesk. You can download Maya 7.0 PLE (Personal Learning Edition) for free from Autodesk's website. Maya 4.0.1 PLE was distributed with UT2003 on CD#3 (see press release text below), but it's unclear whether a key will be issued for this older version. Note that UT2004 comes with Maya 5.0 PLE in the "\CD6\Extras" directory on the DVD.

Note: Maya PLE is for NT-based versions of Windows only. This means is only runs under Windows NT 4, 2000 and XP. For other applications that work under Windows 98/ME see Topics on Modeling.
