Autodesk Maya

Award-winning Autodesk Maya software is a powerful, integrated 3D modeling, animation, effects, and rendering solution. Because Maya is based on an open architecture, all your work can be scripted or programmed using a well-documented and comprehensive API (application programming interface), or one of two embedded scripting languages. This, combined with an industry-leading suite of 3D tools, means Maya enables you to realize your creative ideas.


Maya is the software of choice for those in the film, television, game development and design industries. Maya software has been used to create visual effects for a variety of blockbuster movies, such as The Da Vinci Code, Transformers, Beowulf, The Golden Compass, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Ten years since its industry-redefining launch, Maya software continues to address the challenges faced by artists today. Maya 2009 offers a host of new features and enhancements to maximize productivity, optimize workflows and offer new creative possibilities.

Autodesk Maya Features:

  • Maya Cloth - lets you quickly direct and control cloth and other material simulations in entirely new ways. Beyond cloth, Maya Cloth lets you create deformable plastic and metal simulations, inflatable objects, as well as rigid-body and fluidic-type effects.
  • Maya Particles - quickly simulate a wide range of complex effects, including liquids, clouds, smoke, spray, and dust.
  • Maya Fluid Effects - simulate and render a huge variety of atmospheric, pyrotechnic, viscous liquid, and open-ocean effects.
  • Maya Fur - easily create realistic fur, short hair, wool, and grass on NURBS, subdivision surfaces, or polygonal models.
  • Maya Hair - create, style, and render fully dynamic long hair on NURBS or polygon objects. Make any NURBS curve dynamic for use in advanced character rigging and effects.
  • Maya Live - combine 2D and 3D live-action with 3D elements. Maya Live provides greater flexibility, a fast-integrated 2D Tracker, and an interactive Root Frame Solver.
