Then, they import their models into Maya to continue crafting them, putting materials on them, and animating and rendering them.Other Applications Commonly Used by AnimatorsĪbout Maya is that it is too complicated because it offers so much. Some artists have been moving much of their preliminary modeling to other applications that might be simpler to use or that offer different ways of creating models. One of the most common complaintsĪbout Maya is that it is too complicated because it offers so much. There are times when an animator might prefer to perform tasks in other applications,even when these tasks can be done with Maya stand alone. Might be best to read it quickly if you are just beginning to use this app, and then comeīack and look at this overview more carefully as you move through the app and work This app show you how it is used to create 3D animated projects,Īlong with the roles that are played by other applications in the larger 3D workflow.

This content originally appeared in 3D World magazine. With all the new updates, it could save you a lot of time on your projects. All in all, Maya 2020 is an essential upgrade if you're an animation studio. There is so much to be excited about with this release, and I haven't even covered the modelling and speed improvements. I have many clients who still use Maya 20, so for me, these shiny new nodes aren't an option just yet. The one issue I do have with the new rigging tools is they aren't backwards compatible.
With the offsetParentMatrix attribute, constraints could be used less and less, meaning the art of rigging is more streamlined. These are a series of nodes and attributes that make rigs cleaner and less cluttered. While we are on the subject of rigging, another new addition I am personally excited about is the introduction of matrix-driven workflows. With Maya 2020, animation has seen significant improvements, as has rigging (Image credit: Antony Ward)
