LOL...7/11 sounds like a plan! I'm sure they are boxed, cuz these softwares are so big that it can't be set for download. And that will kill the website's bandwidth. Unless you are an architect major or animation major in school, I would suggest you keep maya off the picture for now. Well of course you don't have to if 7/11 goes very well. :-) C4D is a also a great modelling software. On the other hand for modelling you can actually check out Wings3D. A good modelling soft & free download!
