Maya LT is available immediately for both OSX and Windows at a price of $795 for a perpetual license.
This release certainly lowers the price, but does it lower it enough? I have been advocating for an indie friendly version of Autodesk products for a long time, as they are easily the most expensive aspect of the game development tool chain. Through support for FBX export, Maya LT also can be used for game engines like Unity Engine and Unreal Engine. It brings the established tools of Maya 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. This new product also brings with it a subscription pricing model that they hope will make it more affordable to indie developers. Autodesk has introduced Maya LT, a new 3D animation product based on their award-winning Maya software.
