These two programs are the most widely used in game studios around the world. Now I no longer have that and moving forward, Maya Indie it is.Īs you may know Autodesk Maya®/Maya LT™ and Autodesk 3dsMax® are two game industry standard for 3d software. There were times where I found myself wanting to use few deformers to model with or found a script to use but couldn't due to Maya LT limitations. I actually like using Maya because you get full access to everything Maya has to offer. You can read more about and get Maya Indie here. Main limit is you have to make under $100,000 per year with Maya to qualify to use Maya Indie. Maya Indie offers a full version of Maya with few limits. I have now switched to using Maya Indie as my version for 3d modeling and UVing. You can read more about this from Autodesk here. Maya LT will no longer be updated by Autodesk and Maya Indie will be taking its place. One other possible use for Maya LT is as a development tool for people creating mesh content for Second Life, since its limitations fit well within the restrictions used by artists developing that content, and Autodesk's free FBX Converter can be used to convert the FBX exports from Maya LT into Collada DAE format for import into Second Life.As time goes on, things change. Through support for FBX export, Maya LT also can be used for game engines like Unity Engine and Unreal Engine. It brings the established toolset of Maya, with its extensive modeling and animation capability, into the affordability range of indie game developers, and also allows them to import assets that were created in Maya proper (as well as OBJ and FBX), giving them access to thousands of available models from sites like Turbosquid. Autodesk has developed Maya LT as a new product whose focus is on the needs of indie game developers.
Indie developers, whether working for mobile, PC, or web-based games, need a professional 3D animation software that can be used to create 3D and 2D assets to be used in game engines. It’s a practical solution that closely matches the needs of the mobile game development production cycle and helps developers rise above the noise and really shine.” “The market is fiercely competitive, and Maya LT can provide indie developers and small studios with a powerful, yet simplified workflow for designing and animating remarkable 3D characters, environments and props – at a price that fits within even the most modest budget.
“We see indie game developers as a key part of the industry, driving innovative new production techniques and gameplay,” said Chris Bradshaw, senior vice president, Autodesk Media & Entertainment.
