Autodesk
Maya commonly shortened to Maya, is 3D computer graphics software that runs
on Windows, OS X and Linux, originally developed by Alias Systems Corporation
(formerly Alias Wave front) and currently owned and developed by Autodesk, Inc.
It is used to create interactive 3D applications, including video games,
animated film, TV series, or visual effects.
Maya is an application used to generate 3D assets for use in
film, television, game development and architecture. The software was initially
released for the IRIX operating system. However, this support was discontinued
in August 2006 after the release of version 6.5. Maya was available in both
"Complete" and "Unlimited" edition suntil August 2008, when
it was turned into a single suite.
Users define a virtual workspace (scene) to implement and
edit media of a particular project. Scenes can be saved in a variety of
formats, the default being .mb (Maya Binary). Maya exposes node graph
architecture. Scene elements are node-based, each node having its own
attributes and customization. As a result, the visual representation of ascene
is based entirely on a network of interconnecting nodes, depending on each
other's information. For the convenience of viewing these networks, there is a
dependency and a directed acyclic graph.
