Maya personal now available for free (acclaimed 3D modelling software)

[Jonathan Aquino]

"Alias has now made a version of Maya Personal Learning Edition
available for free on both the Mac and PC.

For those learning the J2ME Java 3D APIs for Mobile Phones - you
generally need 3D modelling software to create any decent models for
use in your games or otherwise, and Maya is usually the recommended
choice."

Maya puts a watermark on what you save.

Puts it in the "trialware" pile for me.
But others may not care.
