Maya 3D software
MAYA is the world’s leading
graphics software innovator
for film, video, electronic
games, interactive media,
visualization and industrial
design.
Famous 3D software
FAMOUS is a complete facial
motion-capture solution for
animators, designed to speed and
improve the processes of mapping
motion-capture data to face
models, tweaking animations after
capture and incorporating facial
animation into Maya scenes.
Face Works software
