I have a subscription to Maya LT and it does pretty much everything I need it to. Import/Export FBX/OBJ, Curve editor, rigging, modelling, etc.
Yes it’s a shame there is no rendering engines with it but that’s one of the reasons the full version is so expensive. They have to cut it down somehow, or else everyone who purchases the full version would move over to the new cheaper version that does literally the same thing. Anyways you have UE4 now, there’s no need to wait for slow renders anymore!
