visual effects, rendering, and compositing software. 
Whether you work in film, games, television, or web 
and multimedia production, Maya 2011 offers state- 
of-the-art toolsets, in an end-to-end solution designed 
to meet today’s demanding production requirements.

Create Better Animation in Less Time 
Maya 2011 enables you to create more content, faster, 
especially when it comes to believable character 
animation. An extensive array of new skinning tools 
and workflows help you rig characters more easily 
and apply deformations that behave more naturally 
when animating joints; new retargeting tools make 
repurposing existing animation data easier and more 
practical; and enhancements to the Graph Editor helps 
make it easier to view, select, and edit animation curves 
and keyframes, accelerating everyday animation tasks. 
Moreover, new support for timeline scrubbing with 
simultaneous playback of multiple audio tracks helps 
make it easier to synchronize your animation against 
a soundtrack.

Add Production Capability and Increase Efficiency 
With shrinking budgets and tighter deadlines, you 
need to squeeze every drop of efficiency from your 
production pipeline. Maya 2011 has been designed 
to help you do just that. Powerful, new 3D editorial 
capabilities help synchronize pre-visualization and 
animation blocking and layout with the editorial process. 
You can import timelines from popular nonlinear 
editing applications—complete with movie files, audio, 
and time code information—and use them to guide 
animation timing and flow. Other production efficiencies 

in Maya 2011 include scene segmentation for faster, 
parallel workflows; improved file referencing and asset 
management; integrated color management for more 
accurate viewing and greater color fidelity; enhanced 
compositing with new rotoscoping capabilities; and 3D 
model and animation export to popular game engines

Work with Ease and Speed 
The new Maya 2011 user interface (UI) not only looks 
great, but also helps reduce eye strain, improve 
workflow, and increase productivity. Completely 
updated using the Nokia™ Qt UI framework, Maya 
2011 delivers an enhanced, consistent user experience 
across all supported platforms that benefits both 
artists and technical users—with more flexible editors, 
a new color chooser and file browser, and an updated 
script editor and easier creation of custom UI elements. 
With a much-requested 64-bit executable for the Mac 
OS

 X (Snow Leopard) operating system joining the 

lineup, the choice of whether to run Maya on the

down to your personal preference.

Producers have become 

more savvy with respect 

to computer-generated 

imagery; they expect 

more work with additional 

complexity in less time 

than ever before. Maya 

gives us the total package 

to efficiently handle any 

challenge they can throw 

at us, whether it’s heavy 

in tracking, modeling, 

animating, rendering, or 

compositing.
