"Maya an un-substitutable tool"
What do you like best about Maya?

In one word - "Everything". It's a start-to-end software. Basically, you can start a project and work it until the final render. Though there are other softwares that are much more efficient and prolific in the other accept of the workflow but still you can manage to do it in Maya if you don't have the budget to afford other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Maya?

Nothing much except for the pricing structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
