what is Maya History

Maya is one of the Best 3D modeling and animation packages that artists and studios use all around the world. Even though Maya was one of the last 3D software to hit the market compared to the other major 3D packages we have today it found its place in many industries such as Vfx and Video game development studios right from the start because it was not created from thin air.

Cool video I only watched a couple of seconds. But just FYI Jurassic Park was done with soft image beta - it was the first software to introduce inverse kinematics for a lot of the animation. Especially for the Trex shot referenced. I didn't watch more of the video but thought I'd at least point that out
Keep up the great work these videos look interesting

I love this software so much. This fed me and my family.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane and the back story on Maya. Started on version 3 or 4 when I was in college. Went from learning animation master which crashed all the time to a bootleg version of max 2 or 3. When I started learning Maya I never looked back lol. I still have my boxed versions of Maya complete 6 and 7 along with alias motion builder. If you can think or dream it, you can create it 😁

I was working for Alias|Wavefront as a software engineer, when Maya first came out. I remember the reaction from the audience when doing the first beta demonstrations of Mel the cowboy scene. I still have all the original material and my old SGI laying around. Hopefully one day I will get a large office where I can bring this market changing software back to life.

Excellent video....took me to down memory lane have so many memories around each of the software versions....Lovely video

We need to start a worldwide petition to make SideFX buy Maya and save it from dirty hands of Autodesk.

Maya and Blender and Zbrush. All incredible programs. I love Maya just as much as I love Blender even if Blender was my first love

Thanks for your research, this history is really cool to learn about!

Was maya Unlimited, not Ultimate. Nucleus solver was released with maya 2008. The last Alias release of Maya was Maya 7, Maya 8 was released with Autodesk.

[miriades]

Corrections: Jurassic Park 3D animations were done in Softimage 3D Extreme, not Power Animator.
Nucleus didn’t come with Maya under Alias. It came out in 2008 with Maya 8.5, after Autodesk acquired Maya and released it on version 8.0 in 2006.
The last version of Maya under Alias was Maya 7, not Maya 8.5.

Its Not that different from Blender. Blender just has a Slower Rendering Engine (display).
3D Studio Max is for Like Blockey Playstaion 1 or Nintendo 64 Graphics. You need to use Blender or Maya for PS2 or Upwards.

Jesh... I've worked with or on many of the SGI systems either for SGI or other companies. Feels like it was half a life ago!

[HikikomoriDev]

I think Maya had it's day. It's a wonderful software package but has been really surpassed by Blender and other rendering engines like ProRender. One of the major selling points of Maya was that it ran on the Macintosh which was something that 3DS Max couldn't do. But I think it's time to move on. Most people you see that use Maya either have to because they aren't given a choice or just can't, or hasn't seen that the world moved on and are stuck in a time loop of 14 years.

I saw a guy rigging the leg with lattice deformer, interesting....

thanks for the info really helped alot. i rather learn about tNice tutorials than school

[quakebox]

Let's just hope Maya continues to be at the top of CGI there is not much left in the CGI market after Autodesk killed Softimage and made 3Ds Max a dwarf after they bought Maya.

In the early days maya came bundled with maya fusion, which later was sold off to digital fusion, a very notoriously buggy compositing software package for most of its life
