Experience an intuitive and robust toolset that makes animating feel more like creative expression than pressing buttons. From animating attributes of any object to transforming joints and bones, IK handles, and models over time, Maya gives you the creative freedom to bring your characters and scenes from first concept to reality.

Faster animation
Powerful tools in Maya speed up the process of creating and editing animation. The Time Editor provides an intuitive, clip-based workflow for non-linear animation editing, so you can navigate easily between clips and adjust timing operations like speed, length, and start/stop times. Cached Playback enables you to evaluate iterations of your animation right in the viewport, rather than producing multiple playblasts.

Best-in-class animation tools
From tools for producing high-quality, production-ready bound characters to an intuitive graph editor for manipulating animation curves and keys in your scene, and shape authoring tools for adding fine details such as facial expressions to characters, you’ll be working with the industry’s best software for animation.

The Most Powerful Maya Yet
Universal Scene Description (USD) is now seamlessly integrated with Maya. Pixar’s open-source USD has been making its way into VFX pipelines as a way to interchange 3D data across several digital content creation tools. Now in Maya, not only can you load and edit massive data sets at lightning speed, but you can also work directly with the data using Maya's native tools.
