It has everything you need to complete a full work pipeline. > > **Cons**: The unwrapping functionalities are a bit outdated compared to software that are made for it specifically, though this is to be expected from a "multi-tool" software. > > I've been using it for over 10 years and it has never disappointed me, regardless of what level of detail I needed to execute for a project. Fantastic all-rounder. ----- ### "Maya Mayhem" — 5.0/5 > **Marissa** | *16 January 2026* | Human Resources Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Being able to create charaters and objects in a 3d space and being able to bring those items to live with rigging, textures, and movement. The program is designed in a way to make it easy to understand each step in creating 3d and animated videos > > **Cons**: The cost of this software. I wish this was offered for free to nonprofit profits or a discount program. > > I thuroughly enjoyed using this program. I have only scratched the surface of what this program can do and it blows my mind what i was able to do with the little time I have used it. ----- ### "The King of 3D Animation Software" — 5.0/5 > **Bailey** | *5 July 2025* | Animation Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use for creating animations, and rendering them out. Supports other rendering engines, so I can use alternatives like Renderman and V-Ray, depending on my project. Although Arnold is still a great rendering engine. > > **Cons**: Cost is extremely high, even with their cheaper indie plan. Would be nice to see a cheaper price (maybe could be achieved by making cut down versions for specific specialties?). Linux support needs to be improved, as I've only been able to get it working on Redhat, despite them having an installation guide for Ubuntu. > > Maya is still the king of 3D animation software, and Blender still hasn't been able to catch up. It's no wonder it's still still so heavily used in the industry. It's easy to use, with being able to create keyframes easily, animation layers, and many tools to help bring things to life. It's great being able to use third-party rendering engines, alongside Arnold. I can use Renderman, V-Ray, and others depending on what I see fit with my project. Only issue is pricing is quite high and unattainable to most people starting out, even with the cheaper indie plans. Autodesk should look into cutting their prices, even if that could involve creating cut-down versions of Maya for specific specialties (a version for animation, a version for modelling, etc). Linux support needs to be fixed, as Redhat is the only distro that seems to work with the latest versions, despite them listing install guides for Ubuntu. ----- ### "Maya is my go to everyday\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *4 March 2025* | Animation Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of Maya is simple yet complex. I do everything in Maya from building 3d assets to making entire 3d environments. There is always an option to make the process much smoother. > > **Cons**: I do sometimes dislike when Maya crashes over the rendering process with Arnold but overall I think this is unavoidable. > > My overall experience is great when using Maya. I'm able to get most of the stuff needed to be done with access to the many tools available to me. All the way from the asset-building to the render process. It is all a breeze and will be using Maya for years to come. ----- ### "Great tool for 3D modellers" — 5.0/5 > **Yogesh** | *9 January 2025* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: 3D modelling, UV \& robust retopology tools. Integrated features like Xgen and arnold renderer. > > **Cons**: Random crashes, navigation and the old style UI. > > Though it's not the most user friendly software with old UI but it's has robust UV features and powerful Integrated Arnold renderer and Xgen (it's difficult to set up and pretty buggy but looks great when it works. Have created props and models using maya plus beauty renders for the portfolio. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/1002115/maya?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/1002115/maya) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
