Autodesk Maya

I don't see linux as one of the supported operating systems for this program, yes the 2016 version only supports centos 6.5 and redhat 6.5 WS so it may not work on other distros but still supports linux

• Industry standard
• Like Maya's keyboard and mouse mode of operation

• Lazy development
• Many bugs!
• Need to customize a lot of scripts to work effectively

This is one of the greatest software for animation and game development

There's a few great products available for someone that need to be added. a few are:

Verto Studio VR - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/verto-studio-vr/9p32wn9sxn7r

Actiongram Beta - https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-hololens/en-us/apps/actiongram

RoboRaid - https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-hololens/en-us/apps/RoboRaid

and I feel that there are more out there. It is different from the other VR sets, it doesn't forces on games but more on how to get i to the real world.

Autodesk Maya is changed now 2016 you can use any purpose like blender sculpting, 3d model , vector graphic , motion graphic , creating 2d or 3d gaming models ,
photorealistic pictures,Dynamics & effects,3D rendering & shading , Pipeline integration , but problem is it's not free but still it's better than blender or 3ds max

oh thx for the information i didnt know that maya do support linux. thats a good news actually i am using ubuntu for one year now and i can do all things on it except flash i hope we will see it in future

It works on mostly Red Hat based linux systems, but can be used on ubuntu with enough tweaking. Here is the list of system requirements:

This is a very good program, it has been used in many of the movies and games that I watch and play. It has some amazing features, like painting models.. as in being able to add models to a scene really quick and easy. Its particle engine is one of the best.. if not the best. I plan on using this and blender when I make a movie.
