Maya

3D animation and visual effects software

What is Maya?

Autodesk Maya is professional 3D software for creating realistic characters and blockbuster-worthy effects. Bring believable characters to life with engaging animation tools. Shape 3D objects and scenes with intuitive modelling tools. Create realistic effects – from explosions to cloth simulation.

Autodesk Maya software delivers new features, performance improvements, and artist-friendly tools that showcase enhanced performance and ease of use, improving the entire Maya experience.

In addition to an all new look and feel that includes reorganised menus that better match artist workflows, Maya is now leveraging more resources (cores) in the computer to accelerate animation performance, increasing the speed of both playback and manipulation of character rigs. A new native sculpting toolset brings improved brush based modelling tools to Maya, allowing modelers to quickly modify forms and shapes. Additionally, artists can achieve even more realistic VFX results using Bifrost with the addition of foam, surface tension, viscosity, and adaptive aerodynamics.
