Review Summary	Maya is a powerful 3D modeling and animation software praised for its extensive toolset and industry-standard capabilities. Users consistently highlight its versatility, enabling them to create stunning 3D animations, visuals, and models for various applications, including film, gaming, and architectural visualizations. However, Maya's steep learning curve is a recurring concern, often requiring significant time investment and daily use to master its complexities. Additionally, the software's cost can be prohibitive for individual artists and small studios. While many users appreciate its robust capabilities, a consistent theme across reviews is the need for a more intuitive interface and user-friendly workflow.	Not Available
