What is Autodesk Maya?

Industry-standard 3D animation, modeling and VFX software

Autodesk Maya is the industry-standard 3D software for creating realistic characters and blockbuster-quality effects. Studios across film, TV and games rely on it for modeling, layout, animation, FX and rendering.

Best-in-class animation and rigging

Maya's animation and character rigging toolsets are among the most trusted in production. The latest release, Maya 2027, adds AI-powered features:

  • MotionMaker: generates character motion for humans, dogs and horses from just a few keyframes or a motion path.
  • ML Deformer: approximates complex character deformation quickly and interactively.
  • Flow integration for in-context animation review.

Effects, look development and pipelines

Bifrost provides a visual programming environment for procedural effects, LookdevX handles material authoring, and generative textures speed up surfacing. OpenUSD support keeps Maya at the center of modern pipelines. Maya runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, with a 30-day free trial, a lower-cost Indie edition and free education access, making it the professional benchmark among 3D animation generator and animation tools.
