Hey all , just got a email from alias, they are running a contest for Maya Personal Learning edition users.
They have built a character and you are suppose to animate him. You can win a copy of Maya Complete, dvd learning tools and a HP Workstation.:!:
Check out the flash site.

Some really nice content as well, make sure you check out Gallery. check out the swf movies, “oultine” and “shading” …Awesome stuff…:!:

wow, you know i would enter this… but 1) i dont have maya and 2) i dont know how to use it ☹
lol
good luck to anyone who does enter though, looks like a good contest. I wish i had the time to learn maya, 3d is on my list of things to learn, but the list is incredibly long, so it may be a few years before i get around to it.

Maya PLE is free… I think you can download it from the Alias website.
