Using auto desk Maya was difficult as i struggled with the start of the application since its a new experience for me but i think maya has a much larger selection of tools that im still yet to learn about, however, the only tools we have touched so far are Maya Classic, Modelling – Standard and Animation so far.

The basics of Maya consist of just making simple geometry shapes and then using the tools we have to edit our shapes into proper models.
