For all those who love to indulge in nostalgia and are fans of Maya, I have discovered an extremely interesting website. On www.toxik.sk | CG Blog you will find a comprehensive database of all Maya versions and their splash screens.
From the very first version 1.0 from February 1998, at that time still under the manufacturer. Unfortunately, the list only goes up to version 2023. Hopefully it will be continued at some point, because I think the site is a great thing.
My first encounter with Maya was with version 8.0. I still vividly remember the splash screen featuring the creature that resembled a dragon. Was it even a dragon?

Today, only a generic splash image is shown and I truly miss the old Maya splash screens. I always found them great to look at
