I just wanted to know is this a good tool to use and make models with 3DGS? Or can it not run Maya models at all?

As an aside...you can't make them available for download. Not charging money doesn't matter.

If you look at the price for the software, then you might ask yourself if it's worth to pay and learn how to use a product which cost more money!? Blender, Lightwave are my choice.
