Graph editor
Create, view, and modify animation curves using a graphical representation of scene animation.

Polygon modeling
Create 3D models using geometry based on vertices, edges, and faces.

NURBS modeling
Construct 3D models from geometric primitives and drawn curves.

Character setup
Create sophisticated skeletons, IK handles, and deformers for characters that deliver lifelike performances.

Integrated Arnold renderer
Use Arnold Render View to view scene changes in real time, including lighting, materials, and cameras.

3D animation

Fast playback
Review animations faster and produce fewer playblasts with cached playback in Viewport 2.0.

Time Editor
Make high-level animation edits with a nondestructive, clip-based, nonlinear editor.

Graph Editor
Create, view, and modify animation curves using a graphical representation of scene animation.

Ghosting Editor
Precisely visualize movement and the position of animated objects over time.

Deformation effects
Enhance character and object animation with powerful deformation effects.

Native Motion Library plug-in
Access high-quality motion capture data right in Maya.

Unreal Live Link for Maya
The Unreal Live Link plug-in lets you stream animation data from Maya to Unreal in real time. Whether working between the two in a virtual production environment or building your next game, you can now work on character assets in Maya and see your work reflected immediately in Unreal as you make changes.

3D rendering and shading

Integrated Arnold renderer
Use Arnold Render View to view scene changes in real time, including lighting, materials, and cameras.

GPU and CPU rendering
Use Arnold for production rendering on both the CPU and GPU.

Standard Surface Shader
Model materials such as car paint, frosted glass, and plastic, and preview renders in the viewport.

Look development with Hypershade
Build shading networks by creating and connecting rendering nodes, such as textures, materials, and lights.

Color management
See accurate previews of final colors in the viewport and Render View.
