Since both versions, student and commercial, have all software features, I’ve been wondering this.According to some posts I read on other forums, you can make assets and use them with a student version as long as you don’t make profit from it. I am pretty new to game making, but I have my fair share in 3D design now(have been studying it since Oct. 2011). So I was thinking to practice making a game, but I don’t want to look for trouble with licenses and stuff, which is why I am asking this.
as long as you dont sell anything that contains anything made with maya student you can use it!
but remember you cannot sell anything that was made with maya students
Same’s true if you use other, non-student versions of Autodesk software on the cheap, like XSI Mod Tool, or 123D… Those are also intended for non-commercial use, so keep that in mind, also.
