Overview
Autodesk Maya is a 3D software that is widely used within the game, animation, movie and advertising industries. It allows a broad variety of tools for 3D modeling, animation, special effects and simulations as well as rendering.
When it comes to creating digital assets for games, Autodesk Maya is mainly used for 3D modeling and UV Unwrapping. Even though it is possible to texture 3D assets in Maya, we recommend looking into a 3D texturing software for that part of the process. At Genies we use Autodesk Maya and Adobe Substance 3D Painter combination to create 3D assets.
