"Maya is the Arnold arnold schwarzenegger of 3d modeling and rendering"
5/5
What do you like best about Maya?

Maya is really handy whether working it in alone or working with many other softwares through maya. It is the software that can handle everything that you want to make, game or production. To 3d modelling, to rigging or even for animation it has all the necessary tools to work effectively for that particular category. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Maya?

Maya is advance for beginners. It is somewhat difficult to operate and sometimes even an intermediate can get confused working with it. And the performance gets low when working with very high poly assets than can work smoothly in zbrush or other similar softwares. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best 3D Software"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Maya?

Best about maya is ease of 3d modeling. With just shift alt and ctrl + mouse buttons you can rule the modeling. Its so easy and fast once you understand the basic. Features like fx and arnold renderer is cherry on the top. Custome support is also too good. If you face any bug or issue with installation the support given is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Maya?

The lack of realtime materials visualisation is missing. The one we can get in blender. You always have to preview render to check the output. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Dense Workflow, Amazing Once Learned"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Maya?

The capabilities that this software offers gives you sooo much reign, as in the world of animation, really, anything is possible Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Maya?

It's an incredibly dense and technical interface. Those who consider themselves "artists" first (like myself) might struggle learning all the language and work flow, as this software is not at all intuitive. However, once you get there, the fun begins Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maya has 3D modeling, animation, rendering, and compositing. Maya allows customization options to tailor workflows and preferences.

Maya is complicated piece of software, the learning curve can be steep for beginners due to its complexity.

It took really long to get hold of it personally.

Additionally, Maya's requires high system configuration and along with that collaboration is not that great either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
