INTRODUCTION OF MAYA
It is 3D computer graphics software that runs on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS and Linux, originally developed by Alias Systems Corporation (formerly Alias| Wavefront ) and currently owned and developed by Autodesk, Inc .Maya 1.0 was released in February 1998. Following a series of acquisitions, Maya was bought by Autodesk in 2005. Under the name of the new parent company, Maya was renamed Autodesk Maya. However, the name "Maya" continues to be the dominant name used for the product. It is used to create interactive 3D applications, including video games, animated film, TV series, or visual effects. The product is named after the Sanskrit word Maya ( my), the Hindu concept of illusion. Users define a virtual workspace (scene) to implement and edit media of a particular project. Scenes can be saved in a variety of formats, the default being .mb (Maya Binary). Maya exposes a node graph architecture. Scene elements are node-based, each node having its own attributes and customization. As a result, the visual representation of a scene is based entirely on a network of interconnecting nodes, depending on each other's information. For the convenience of viewing these networks, there is a dependency and a directed acyclic graph. Alongside its more recognized visual workflow, Maya is equipped with a cross-platform scripting language, called Maya Embedded Language. MEL , is provided for scripting and a means to customize the core functionality of the software, since many of the tools and commands used are written in it. Code can be used to engineer modifications, plug-ins or be injected into runtime. Outside these superficial uses of the language, user interaction is recorded in MEL, allowing even inexperienced users to implement subroutines. Scene information can thus be dumped, extension .ma, editable outside Maya in any text editor.
Features of Maya Autodesk Maya 2013 software delivers practical toolsets to help create and maintain the modern, open pipelines you need to address todays challenging 3D animation, visual effects, game development, and post production projects. Powerful new toolsets for dynamic simulation, animation, and rendering offer new levels of creativity, while everyday productivity enhancements help you finish faster. In addition, the Open Data initiative introduced in Maya 2013 offers tools to help facilitate parallel workflows and better complexity handling.

Expt 1
Create canonical tower using NURBS modeling and do its rendering.
Steps:1.Select modeling from main menu bar 2. Click create 3. Click create 4. Click create NURBS PRIMITIVE Cylinders. NURBS PRIMITIVE Cone. NURBS PRIMITIVE Cube.
5. Press 5 to solidify the primitives. 6. Place Cone above the Cylinder so that both axes comes along together. 7. Use rotate tool and place the cube above the cone so that its vertex touch the Cone.
Output:-
Expt 2
Create a wine glass using EV curve tool.
Steps:1. Select surface from main menu bar 2. Click create EV curve tool.
3. Click to create the points on the plane having wine glass shape. 4. Press Enter on completion of points. 5. Select the curve and revolve the glass and press 5 to solidify it.
Output:-
Expt 3
Bounce a ball using animation.
Steps:1. Select animation from main menu bar 2. Click create Polygon PRIMITIVE sphere and press 5 to solidify.
3. Click move tool to move the ball and press s to set its position in a frame . 4. And repeat the same thing in second frame and third and so forth for animation. 6. Click to play the animation.
Output:-
Experiment -4 Create helical path and revolve a ball around the helix from top to bottom
Steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Select animation from main menu bar. Click create polygon primitiveshelix. Click createpolygon primitives spheres and pres 5 to solidify. Click move tool to move ball around the helix. Fix the position of the ball in a frame by pressing set key(s). Move to next frame and set another location to set the frame. Select the sufficient number of frames for animation. Click play to review the animation.
Experiment-5 Create a dining table in MAYA using modeling Steps: 1. Select animation from menu bar. 2. Click createpolygon primitivescube. 3. Scale the cube to the required size. 4. Click createpolygon primitivescylinder to create leg of table. 5. Repeat step 4 to create all four legs. 6. Select createpolygon primitivescube to create base of chair 7. Repeat step 6 to create back of chair. 8. Repeat step 5 to create legs of chair. 9. Repeat steps 6,7,8 to create four chairs.
