Actually, Alias software is giving out a free version of Maya 5,and it exports too(as well as saves).You can use it free as long as it isn't for commercial use.For 20$ they will send you a training DVD(showing how the program works,and a few projects as well),with the program on a cd(to download it from them is around 130 megs).I'll see if I can find the link to Alias,or just google it.You can't beat 20$.
