This may be a silly question, but I am trying to understand if Maya is free 
for Linux - despite it being a commercial product.

The License page says that we should go to http://www.aliaswavefront.com/spar 
to register, but the link is dead.

What do you know about this package and the license thing?

Hmm. Autodesk Maya "Learning" (an old version) is free - but only 
available for Windows and Mac OSX AFAIK. Never heard of a Linux version 
- let alone Gentoo.

Be lucky,

As far as I know the learning edition isn't available for linux, I might be
wrong.

They do have their commercial version which works great on linux.  Unlike
other company that came out with "linux" versions which turned out to be
re-wrap of their 1.0 release of their software from 10 years ago written for
linux, the Maya software works really well, and it seems very feature rich.
(Not that I can make heads or tails of half the features it has).

Hope that helped.

Thanks Samir,

Assuming you don't have to buy it (or do you?) do you need to register it - 
how?

Indeed!
Maya + A cluster of PCs + Linux = Star Wars ;-)

I thought the following two articles may be interesting for you:

Oh, of course! I haven't forgotten all these "little" things that Mr.
Lucas and his team have taken care of to make my favorite movie, but I
was trying not to get far too OT (like now) ;-)


Cheers to all fans of "Star Wars"!

(...and apologies to all others for the OT)

Well, when I said commercial version, I meant the off the shelf product,
which you do have to buy.

You can probably try their demo version and see how you like it.  I haven't
played with their free version (assuming they have a linux version of it).
