FAQ
Frequently asked questions. Click on each tab to see more.
Yes.
Full version of Maya will work perfectly. There isn't much difference when it comes to modeling and UVing between Maya LT and Maya.
The only difference you will notice is during normal map baking. Maya LT uses Turtle Baker while Maya uses Transfer Maps. But everything else will be the same.
