Autodesk Maya is the industry standard software used to make 3D graphics and animations by using a simple direct interface. Maya is an end-to-end 3D solution used by leading visual effects professionals and studios. It enables visual effects, artists, modelers and animators to imagine, design and create high-quality content for film and TV, games and advertising. Maya software offers 3D animation, modeling, simulation and rendering.
Maya is quite an old program, but the advantage of Maya is that it’s really easy to expand and it’s infinitely customizable. Because of that, Maya is predominantly used in movie industry. So if you want to get into effects or post-production, Maya is the right choice. You can create custom plugins, using C++ and MEL.
