The watermark is no longer visible in wireframe mode
The ability to import different data types, including files from the commercial version of Maya
The addition of tools found in Maya Complete 4.5, like new modeling tools, subdivision surfaces, integrated 3D paint and various user interface and workflow enhancements. Maya 4.5 Personal Learning Edition can be downloaded for free from the link below, and is available for Mac OS X, Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP.
