ABOUT MAYA
Autodesk's Maya is a highend 3d package used on many feature films, games, architectural-visualisation and product design. Maya covers most areas of 3d creation and animation with the exception of digital sculpting. Maya has cemented itself as one of the top 3d packages used by professionals due to it's robust array of features.

In 2003, Maya (then owned by Alias|Wavefront) won an Academy Award "for scientific and technical achievement", citing use "on nearly every feature using 3-D computer-generated images."
