"Great Professional 3D animations software"
What do you like best about Maya?

I used to make small 3 D animations in Maya and 3Dstudio max. I found that Maya was just faster to operate in my slow computer compared to 3Dstudio Max. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Maya?

May not be as simple as 3Dstudio Max as Maya has more advanced options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I am using Maya for scene setting and modeling props"
What do you like best about Maya?

Maya interface and navigation is user friendly but unfortunately in 2023 Maya they updated there hot keys and scroll can't work with alt key press on Maya 2023 . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Maya?

I am a Maya user and some of my friends are using Autodesk max and we have to use vray plugin on it but I can't get help from max users as vray plugin for both maya and max are different even in interface... If both of there parent is Autodesk so it must be more simpler and make the vray plugin same for Maya and max. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Maya - Best Software For Animation"
What do you like best about Maya?

The thing I like most about this software is its User interface, as it is Easy to use.

Maya has a lot of tools that make my Workflow easy.

Some convenient features, such as auto-rigging, the MASH tool and auto UV, that speed up the Work process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Maya?

It's a heavy software and often crashes when I work on a serious project.

Most of the time, Maya gets stuck when you keep on the motion trail to track the moment for your Character. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Industry standard nothing more to add"
What do you like best about Maya?

Stable operation, convenient customization, menu marking, ease of modeling using a tablet.

I'm a 3D artist and I use Maya to create models and environments in games.

Convenient work with uv, good texture baking and normal maps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Maya?

For more than three years I have been working with version 2018, and after switching to version 2022 six months ago, I did not notice any global changes or improvements in functionality that would help me in my work.

The manufacturer definitely needs to learn from Blender. Too many good artists leave to work at Blender just because of innovation and frequent updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
