What do you like best about Maya?

What I like most about this software is its User interface, which makes it easy to learn and explore things.

It gives regular updates and fixes bugs. It is good for long-time work because of the black interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I didn't like that it did not come with a good render plugin. For bignersr there is no small tutorial for each tool. There is no script tutorial or predefined script available in it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maya is appreciated for its versatility and powerful tools for 3D modeling, animation, rendering, and visual effects. It's widely used in the film, game, and animation industries due to its extensive feature set, flexibility, and the ability to handle complex projects. Maya also has a large and active community, which means there are plenty of resources and tutorials available for learning and problem-solving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Maya?

Complexity: Maya is known for its steep learning curve. Some users find its interface and workflow to be complex, especially for beginners.

2. Cost: Maya is relatively expensive, which can be a barrier for individual artists or small studios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Maya?

In general, Maya offers a very extensive range of tools and features to enable stunning 3D animations and visual effects, from modelling, texturing and rigging to lighting, animation and rendering. I have typically used the tool for architectural visualisation and character animation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Maya?

The cost of a licence can be prohibitively expensive and it comes with a steep learning curve that requires the user to constantly use it on a daily basis to be able to gain an extensive understanding of the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Maya?

The application has a lot of versatility, Industry standards, and realistic Simulation which makes the app great to work with. Also, you have great Customization that extends Maya's functionality through scripting in Python or MEL Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Maya?

The application has some downsides which are Cost, Hardwire Requirements, and Software Stability. Maya also includes many features that not every user may need, making it a resource-intensive application, which can lead to slower performance on less powerful systems.
