Summary:
With the growth of the web and the graphics capabilities of today's
computers, graphic artists are beginning to be able to extend their
palette by moving from 2D to 3D images and content. This opens up a
number of areas for the artist and designer: web graphics, training,
video game creation, feature film visual effects, animation, indusrial
design, and visualization.
With this transition comes a new set of tools, of which Maya is a prime example.
