我想知買一個正版maya要幾錢

[nightwing]

如果商業用的話，會用刑事起訴 (留案底，罰款)
如果非商業用的話，會用民事起訴 (賠錢)

非商業用，鬼知咩！

Did anyone afraid of getting caught by Custume b'cas of using Pirated software, I've heard that if you are not using it for commercial then it is not illegal, that means pirated copies is OK for hobby only, right?
I plan to buy Original Rhino, it is just 7K only and no follow up(maintainence) payment!

Yap, I totally agree with you. As long as you are not using it to make money. It is not against the low.

It is the same as you buy illigal copy of VCD on the street. Will you get caught by buying? they are catching those are selling!!!!

其實用唔用正版全是自律和個人操守。即使是公司，我知道大多數公司都會買一套半套正版以防萬一被捉，但在工作上大多數是用一套以上的翻版。

我用正版並非是怕被檢控，全是基於道德問題，人家花時間和錢去研發的成品而你又欣賞，用真金白銀去購買是理所當然。如果人人用翻版，我們很難會有更好、更強的software 用。試想如果大家他日有動劃制成可於市場上賣，別人欣賞你但只會買你的翻版，你感受如何？己所不欲，勿斯於人。

當然有時軟件商，有意冇意讓其翻版盛行以增加他們的軟件被市場認識，例如 Microsoft, 3DS 就是，如果3DS 當年不是那麼流行，就沒有今天的地位了， （3D max 大部份的Idea 都是源自 Softimage，自己原創的 Idea 很少，但勝在普及）

I understand your point. People like you will feel more comfortable if you use official. But my point is. if you are using it for youself, you don't ahve to worry about 道德, because you are not making money from it.

別人欣賞你但只會買你的翻版, i dont' mind. Because if i am trying make money from my art, i deserve that they buy illigal copies. "Art is not for sell", is for share.

Nowadays, all the movies, songs, they are not art. they are just an medium for making money. And they put the price super high. so they deserve people to buy illigal copies. They mad, because they can't make money from it. if they are real artist, they will only care if ppl like it or not. rather than buy it or not. They are just 1 kind of business man.

"3D max 大部份的Idea 都是源自 Softimage", that's wrong. they copy 80% from maya.

[daBear]

well, copies are not right at all but it's good for some poor student like me when there isn't any trial version at that time (years ago).

Actually, if you guys really care of using legal copy for testing out the software, download the trial version (maya and XSI both having trial version giving out) ... but what's the different between the trial version and copies if you are not using for freelance?

[noomo]

HapZungLam:
我指3D Max 的 Idea 來自 Softimage 是指早期的版本，當時 Maya 還未面世仲系 Aliase Wavefront 年代，當然近兩個 Version 3,4 已大部份抄 Maya。

當然幾時用和唔用正版，每人都有自己的准則，我亦無意強加於人。但我欣賞你的睇法："Art is not for sell, it's for share"。

一句到尾

這一切都是有錢人的玩意
沒有錢的一群, 有心無力, 只好負上不道德之名

i like that

Sure, you can order a copy of XSI trial version for free. basically they give you all the function on the trial version. they only take off the "save" part.

I didn't count the cost of software in, instead I solely count the time in, around US12 per hour, depends on the level of detail, complexity, output method and time allowed of the project.
