Features
At the cutting edge of innovative feature development for over 12 years, Maya is packed with tried and tested features that help speed your project from initial concept to finished renderings: polygon and NURBS modeling, UV mapping and texturing, animation and rigging, a wide range of dynamic simulation tools, toon shading, tools for generating plants and other natural detail, and a choice of four built-in renderers including mental ray. |

Productivity
Increased competition and tighter deadlines, combined with higher audience expectations for quality, mean that many productions require artists to produce more creative output in less time than ever before. Maya helps maximize productivity with optimized workflows for everyday tasks, opportunities for collaborative, parallel workflows and re-use of assets, and automation through scripting for repetitive tasks. |

Performance
Through a combination of multi-threading, algorithmic tuning, sophisticated memory management, and tools for segmenting scenes, together with 64-bit offerings for Windows®, Linux®, and Mac OS® X operating systems, Maya is engineered to more elegantly handle today’s increasingly complex data sets without slowing down the creative process. |

Interoperability
From complex, proprietary pipelines, to the single user working from home, Maya is rarely used in isolation to create the finished job. Whether the artist is painting textures in Adobe® Photoshop® software, compositing shots in Autodesk® Flame® software, bringing in cleaned motion capture data from Autodesk® MotionBuilder® software, or meshes and normal maps from Autodesk® Mudbox™ software, Maya helps make the task as seamless as possible, helping to minimize errors and reduce iterations. Included with Maya, the Autodesk® FBX® technology supports the exchange of 3D data with numerous professional applications-enabling assets created outside of Maya to be re-used-and offers a software development kit (SDK) to assist
studios with pipeline integration. |

Extensibility
Maya is an out-of-the-box solution, but for companies wishing to tightly integrate it with their existing pipelines, or to add differentiated new feature development on top, Maya offers several avenues for customization. Built from the ground-up with its own embedded scripting language: Maya Embedded Language (MEL), Maya also offers Python® scripting, and an extensive, welldocumented C++ application programming interface (API). Meanwhile, with a Qt user interface (UI), developers can more easily create interface components for proprietary tools with Qt Designer and load them directly into Maya. |

Platform Choice
Maya runs on these platforms: Windows®, Mac OS® X, and Linux® operating system. And it's ready to handle the large amounts of memory that today’s large scenes require, with 64-bit executables for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. |
