I have Maya 6 PLE (Personal Learning Edition) down loaded from there site, and would love to learn how to use it. Ive looked at alot of places but everyone wants you to pay far to much for what I feel I can figure out messing around with it on my own. The UI really isnt much diffrent (I say this in VERY broad terms) than 3DS MAX but it does have some features Max doesnt seem to have and those would be nice to learn
