Whether you work in film, games, television, advertising, publishing or graphic design, Maya offers state-of-the-art toolsets, combined into a single affordable offering designed to help meet today’s demanding production requirements. Autodesk® Maya® 2013 delivers new toolsets for previsualisation and game prototyping, extended simulation capabilities and improved pipeline integration.

Maya for Film
From pre-visualising feature films before a single frame is shot to producing spectacular, Oscar®-winning finished effects or stereoscopic projects, Autodesk Maya 3D animation software helps studios and artists increase the quality of their output and the efficiency of their film pipeline. Autodesk Maya software helps you to:

• Access a large pool of trained and talented artists
• Create 3D animatics for pre-visualisation of a shot
• Model, animate and light realistic high-resolution characters, environments, and performances
• Create more efficient, collaborative, differentiated pipelines that integrate Autodesk® MotionBuilder®, Autodesk® Mudbox™, Autodesk® Flame®, Autodesk® Smoke® software, and certain third-party and proprietary software

Maya for Film
As an integrated 3D modelling, animation and rendering software solution based on an open architecture, Autodesk Maya software is a tool of choice for those who require a higher level of control over their game art workflows and pipelines. Maya offers:

• Access to a large pool of trained and talented artists
• A comprehensive range of keyframe, nonlinear, and advanced character animation editing tools
• A wide-ranging suite of advanced polygon and subdivision surface modelling and texturing tools
• Support for creating and editing industry-standard images, formats and hardware shaders, including baking light maps and transferring texture maps between models of different resolutions and topologies
• The Python® Scripting Language, Maya Embedded Scripting Language (MEL) and a comprehensive API that enable developers to customise and scale implementation

Maya for Television
Whether it be a television commercial, on-air graphics or visual effects-heavy episodics, Autodesk Maya 3D animation software helps you meet the challenges of the fast-paced television and broadcast production market. Adding Maya software to your pipeline helps you to:

• Access a large pool of trained and talented artists
• Model, animate and light realistic characters, environments, and graphics
• Render using a unified rendering user interface and workflow
• Create more efficient, collaborative, differentiated pipelines that integrate certain other toolsets, such as Autodesk® Flame®, Autodesk® Smoke® software and certain third-party and proprietary software

Maya for Design Visualisation
Leading architects, automotive and consumer products designers, and creative advertising professionals use the Maya tool set to help explore, validate and communicate their designs.

• Architecture—Maya offers a robust platform with powerful 3D modelling software tool sets that complement the building information modelling (BIM) workflow during conceptualisation.
• Manufacturing—Complementing the Autodesk® Inventor®, Autodesk® Alias® and Autodesk® Showcase® family of products, the Maya tool set is used by manufacturers, marketers and their advertising agencies for work ranging from conceptual modelling to advanced animated visualisations.
• 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 modelling, data preparation and cleanup, and advanced visualisation.
• 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.
