I just graduated and cannot afford Autodesk software to practice more with.

Is there a cheaper alternative for post-graduate students?

I cannot use Revit 2020 education version for example.

I am now working with Revit 2019 and Maya 2018.

There are not dramatic difference between consecutive versions Revit.  Only just last week I switched from Revit 2019 to Revit 2021 and it took almost no adjustment time.

Yeahh.. but.. well.. uhm.. well..

uhm.. yes.. uhm.. no yes.. hmm..

Is there anything available for non-student non-commercial only-practioners available? 🙂

It wouldn't hurt asking Autodesk. 'Student' doesn't necessarily mean you need to be enrolled at a university.

No such freebie exists outside of 30-day trials.

But hmmm.. uhmmm.. uhm.. hmm.. is it a good idea to let exist or make it cheaper for post-graduates? 🤔

That's your opinion: Autodesk is a for-profit company, not a charity, although they do offer entrepreneurs charities that qualify support as explained here https://www.autodesk.com/sustainability/technology-impact-program
