Maya is a 3D graphics and animation program developed by Autodesk for Windows, MAC OS X and Linux operating systems. Autodesk developed multiple 3D graphics applications that perform similar tasks but use different file formats. To increase compatibility between programs, Autodesk created “Platform-Independent 3D Data Interchange Technology.” This technology converts projects into the FBX file format to act as a bridge between multiple applications. You can import and export this format into various applications, including Maya, with a specialized FBX extension plug-in. Writer Bio
