Our students can get hold of a free student license for Maya, which is restricted to non-commercial use.

And today it remains the most powerful package for 3D Modelling and animation, still the most widely used in industry. I first used Maya 1.0 on “The Iron Giant”, back in 1998. For newcomers to the VFX industry, and especially for our students starting out with us at Escape Studios, it’s important to remember that Autodesk, who make the software Maya, offer an education copy of Maya for free, which can be downloaded from the official Autodesk site.Īutodesk Maya has been the dominant software package in VFX for over 20 years.
