Maya (Maya) is a software for three-dimensional design. This software is supplied first by Lyas.vyv Front in 2005, Autodesk (three-dimensional software company and the animation of the SOP Mac and AutoCAD P) bought it and new versions of Autodesk Maya with Maya (Autodesk Maya ) were introduced to the market.

Maya is one of the most advanced three-dimensional modeling and animation software is widely used in studios, film -making, animation and the industry play in the computer is used. However, it is the strength of the Maya modeling tools and corporate use as well as more than his character. Among the features of this software, flexibility and personalization capabilities (customization) that allows end users to simply change the environment to your liking. In addition, another unique feature it is possible to develop the software for its users. Users can through the C ++ programming language, MEL or (maya embedded language) and Python, as well as to develop tools and features that previously existed in the software added to it. So much attention has been the major studios and animation film.
