even better than i thought. the new Maya pricing is less than two years overdue. and it probably implies a radical restructuring of A/W's business model. hey, change breeds change, this may be the start of something intresting.

Alias|Wavefront has just announced incredible new packaging and pricing
for
the Maya Product Set.
Check out the following details:
Maya Complete
Maya Complete is targeted at the Broader Professional marketplace. It is
a
solution that has "everything you need to create incredible character
animation and visual effects - on the workstation of your choice".
The Maya Complete includes:
Maya Animation
Maya Modeling
Maya Rendering
Maya IPR
Maya F/X (previously a $6000 advanced module)
Maya Artisan (previously a $6000 advanced module)
Maya Fusion Lite (previously not included in Maya)
EPS Support
Maya IPR (interactive photo realistic rendering) will be available with
Maya Version 2.0, currently scheduled for June release.
Maya Fusion Lite is an exciting product resulting from a new strategic
relationship between Alias|Wavefront and Eyon Technology. Fusion is a 2D
compositing product written by Eyon Technology. Together with Eyon, A/W
is
creating an integrated Maya 2D NT compositing environment. The Maya
Complete solution will include a "Lite" version of this technology which
will provide basic functionality.
This new solution will be available for delivery in mid February.
Maya Complete List Price - $7,500.00 U.S. (This package was formerly
$19,500)
Maya Games
Game developers clearly require a solution specific to their workflow.
Maya
Games is that solution. Packaging for Maya Games is exactly the same as
Maya
Complete, with the addition of several game specific features which will
be
released at the time of Maya 2.0. Game development toolsets will focus
on
advanced workflow, MEL, Open APIs, Artisan Integration, etc., with the
goal
of having Maya Games as the premier software for this market.
Maya Games will be available in conjunction with the release of Maya
version 2.0, currently scheduled for June.
Maya Games List Price - $7,500.00 U.S. (This package was formerly
$19,500)

the
leading edge customer.
Maya Infinity includes:
All modules in Maya Complete

Bottom line - the industry's best 3D software is now very affordable and
within reach for the broader professional market. In addition, Maya's
future product development path will continue to be the most innovative
in
the industry.
