Pros

“It is a great program for modeling 3D parts, has many very useful and practical tools when modeling, besides always being updated as it has the support of Autodesk one of the best brands in the industry.”

Sara R.

Manager

“I have since stopped using other design programs, as autodesk make it really easy to contain all of my needs in one program, from creating circuits to have manufactured, to 3d printing designs.”

John M.

guitar pedal builder

“Powerful 3D CAD and modeling capabilities”

Khimson L.

IT admin

Pros

“Autodesk should look into cutting their prices, even if that could involve creating cut-down versions of Maya for specific specialties (a version for animation, a version for modelling, etc).”

Bailey W.

Student

“Though it's not the most user friendly software with old UI but it's has robust UV features and powerful Integrated Arnold renderer and Xgen (it's difficult to set up and pretty buggy but looks great when it works.”

Yogesh M.

Game Artist

“I wish this was offered for free to nonprofit profits or a discount program.”

Marissa P.

Executive Director

Cons

“Large or complex projects can sometimes feel slow”

Khimson L.

IT admin

“There are not generally any problems but sometimes it lags while using some complex commands.”

Ansh G.

“considering the 1yr licensing fusion 360 is a bit pricey”

john k.

mechanical design engineer

Cons

“I find the rendering process quite cumbersome more so than in other software; while I appreciate Arnold's power, I feel the workflow could be better structured so I wouldn't have to jump around to so many different places.”
