MAYA is a software application for 3D animation and visual effects. Maya provides a comprehensive suite of tools for your 3D content creation work ranging from modeling, animation, and dynamics through to painting and rendering and many more. With Maya, you can create and edit 3D models in a variety of modeling formats and animate your models using Maya's suite of animation tools. You can create convincing visual simulations of rigid and soft body objects interacting in the physical world using the computational dynamics and particles tools. Maya also provides a range of tools to allow you to render your animated 3D scenes to achieve photo realistic imagery and animated visual effects. Along with all these great features you can create your own props for your character like Hair, Fur, and Cloth.
