Reviews

Maya is all in one 3D design software. From designing of complex models to detailed texturing then to rigging and animation, Maya is a richly packaged software to satisfy its users. The yearly update always introduces new feature to make usage easy. Also, the ability to export modeled character directly to Unity 3D for game and virtual reality development makes Maya my choice of game character development software. Models designed in Maya is supported by most gaming and texturing software. For beginners, there are enough tutorials to get you started at least for basic modeling and animation, and there is a large support community in case you run into any technical problem.

Offers a WIDE range of features without the need for 3rd party applications to provide a desired result. I’ve been using Maya for many years for tasks such as asset modeling, rigging, animation, rendering, etc. and I have yet to find a product that I would rather use.

Maya has the best set of 3D modeling, animation, simulation, and rendering tools, suitable for developing vast scenes with realistic characters. With its new Bifrost visual programming, it has been easier than ever to develop complex fluid simulations. It comes with a rich collection of readymade graph templates, particles, cloth, and hair simulations. It supports the USD workflows, which has allowed our team to work seamlessly on the massive scenes. It has an integrated Arnold renderer with both CPU and GPU rendering capabilities. Furthermore, Maya can be extended as desired by using a wide range of plugins or by writing scripts on Python.

There is no doubt that Autodesk Maya is a very powerful software that allows a user to create anything that he/she imagine to make in 3d like modeling, texturing, animation, rendering, and simulation. and the best thing is its interface and tools are very easy to understand for beginners.

The most useful thing about Maya is how effective it is to use it into my animation studio pipeline. The reference system is by far my favorite from any other package I have seen, this is not random that every major visual effect studio uses Maya as primary 3d software.
