Autodesk Maya is a three-dimensional graphics editor, featuring a wide functionality of 3D animation, modeling and visualization. Available for Windows. To optimize the creation of animation, motion graphics, virtual reality and characters, use the hot keys. Using the mouse and keyboard allows you to work faster and more productively, without being distracted by routine tasks.
We picked up a complete list of keyboard shortcuts in Autodesk Maya. Remember those who perform frequently repetitive tasks. In different versions, the combinations are almost the same. The layout does not matter.
