Autodesk Maya is the 3D modelling, rigging, animation and rendering program used in film, animation and video games. The license is in the Education version and is linked to an Autodesk account, with no codes to enter.
Why choose Autodesk Maya
Making a character move believably is a different problem from modelling it. You need a skeleton with anatomical constraints, a system for deforming the surface and a curve editor to correct the rhythm of the movement frame by frame.
Maya was built on exactly that. Its rigging system and its graph editor for animation curves are the standard animation studios work with, and the node graph lets you build complex behaviour by connecting elementary operations.
What Autodesk Maya is and what it is for
Maya is the reference tool for character animation and visual effects. It models with polygons, NURBS and subdivision surfaces, simulates cloth, hair and fluids, and produces the final images with the Arnold engine included in the license.
The dependency graph is what makes it different: every element of the scene is a node connected to the others, so an animation can be driven by an expression, by another animation or by a simulation. MEL and Python let you automate any step.
Key features
- Polygon and NURBS modelling
Geometry built from polygons, NURBS curves or subdivision surfaces, according to what the model calls for. - Character rigging
Skeleton, constraints and surface deformation to make a model move in an anatomically believable way. - Graph editor
The rhythm of movement is corrected on the animation curves, not only on the keyframes. - Simulations
Cloth, hair, fluids and rigid bodies computed by the program rather than animated by hand. - Rendering with Arnold
A physically accurate engine included in the license, the same one used in film production. - Node graph
Every element is a node connected to the others: complex behaviour is built by combining simple operations. - MEL and Python
Two built-in languages to automate any step and develop custom tools. - Exchange with other programs
FBX, OBJ and Alembic formats to pass the work to 3ds Max, to game engines or to post-production.

System requirements
Autodesk Maya is compatible with Windows 10, Windows 11 and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel). For compatibility with your macOS version and the detailed requirements see the "Requirements" tab on the product page.
Why are licenses priced so low?
As these are retail licenses previously owned and decommissioned by the former holder in accordance with EU Court ruling C-128/2011, they can be purchased at a more affordable price. These official licenses are fully compliant and guaranteed at the best price on the market.
What do I receive after purchase?
By purchasing this product you will receive the Autodesk account credentials the license is linked to, the official download from the Autodesk website and complete instructions for a correct installation.
