Introduction of Maya

By means of Maya, you can make and edit 3D models in a selection of modeling formats and animate your models using Maya’s suite of animation tools. Maya as well provides a variety of tools to allow you to render your animated 3D scenes to complete picture realistic images and animated visual effects.

You can make convincing visual simulations using Maya dynamics and nDynamics tools.

Using Maya^® Fluid Effects ^TM , you can replicate and render viscous fluids, atmospheric, pyrotechnic, and ocean effects. Maya^® nCloth ^TM lets you generate simulations of textile and clothing, while Maya^® nParticles ^TM can be used to simulate a wide variety of effects including liquids, clouds, smoke, spray, and dust. Other Maya dynamic reproduction tools include Maya^® nHair ^TM , Maya^® Fur ^TM , and Maya^® Artisan ^TM brush tools.

The Maya software interface is completely customizable for those users who need the capability to make the most of their productivity. Maya allows users to extend their functionality within Maya by providing right of entry to MEL ^TM (Maya Embedded Language). With MEL, you can modify the user interface and write scripts and macros. In adding up, a full Application Programmers Interface (API) is obtainable to enhance the power and functionality of Maya. Maya also provides a Python-based Maya API for those users wishing to employ it.
