Maya MARUI works hand-in-hand with Autodesk Maya as a plugin, which means your artists can use the powerful functions they know and love right inside the software they’re already familiar with. Just drag and drop – no installation necessary. Your pipeline remains intact and you can easily switch in and out of VR when you need to – without having to learn an entirely new software.
