Maya BasicsDescriptionMaya is a powerful package from Alias for producing computer animations. It is an integrated professional modeling, animation and rendering package which provides an environment for interactive construction of models, camera motion, rendering and animation without any programming. The user may use many supplied modeling primitives and model deformations, create surface properties, adjust lighting, create and preview model and camera motions, do high quality rendering, and save the resulting images for writing to video tape. This package utilizes very specialized graphics hardware but is now available on all of the machines (Linux, SGI and Windows) in the Computer Graphics Lab.Highlights: Maya is a professional quality package for doing computer graphics and animation interactively.
