In the world of animation software Maya is one of the best software. But there are so many software like 3D Max, Lumion, AutoCAD, Zbrush, Render Man, Blender etc. I will discuss the Maya software. There are two kinds of animation, one is 2D animation and another one is 3D animation. Maya software is used for 3D animation.
Today I will discuss about the interface
of Maya.
Maya is a big software that means
is not easy to handle without a proper time. If you spend too much time
minutely then you can understand. If you go for an intuition to take a proper
training then you have to pay 1-1.5 lacks for one year and everyday 8 hour
class. So I think you can understand the value of the software and the market
demand.
Now every thing is 3D, like tv ads,
3D animation movies. Every kind of people enjoys the animation movie.
