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.

yes you can. PLE stands for Personal Learning Edition. It’s free. The whole point of the competition is to promote PLE. you might as well download it and have a play around.
