Autodesk Maya

Autodesk® Maya® 2012 software delivers new toolsets for previsualization and games prototyping extended simulation capabilities, and improved pipeline integration. Artists can more easily explore, refine, and present their ideas prior to final production, thanks to a high-fidelity, high-performance viewport; node-based render passes; camera sequencer enhancements; and new camera rigs, while editable motion trails make animating easier. With new physics solvers, together with enhancements to the Nucleus unified simulation framework, artists can create a wider range of convincing effects in less time. In addition, added support for vector displacement and Ptex maps and single-step interoperability with Autodesk smoother multi-application workflows.

Leading architects, automotive and consumer products designers, and creative advertising professionals use the Maya toolset to help explore, validate, and communicate their designs.

• Architecture– Maya offers a robust platform with powerful 3D modeling software toolsets that complement the building information modeling (BIM) workflow during conceptualization.
• Manufacturing – Complementing the Autodesk® Inventor®, Autodesk® Alias®, and Autodesk® Showcase® family of products, the Maya toolset is used by manufacturers, marketers, and their ad agencies for work ranging from conceptual modeling to advanced animated visualizations.
• Automotive – Maya is used by designers at automotive OEMs to complement the Alias and Showcase family of products for a variety of tasks such as 3D modeling, data preparation and cleanup, and advanced visualization.
• Consumer products manufacturing – Maya enables consumer products manufacturers to turn digital prototypes into highly realistic advertisements – without the need for costly physical prototypes and photography shoots.
