Why Maya, Why Us

Built by Storytellers, Not Just Software Operators

Maya is the global standard for film, TV, and AAA games — but software alone doesn't make great work. The artist behind the keyframe does.

Our team brings decades of combined craft: timing, weight, anticipation, and the micro-details audiences feel before they consciously notice. That's what separates "rendered" from "remembered".

Senior Artists Only
10+ years average experience — no juniors learning on your project.
Studio-Grade Pipelines
Version control, render farm, and asset management built into every project.
True Collaboration
Daily reviews, dailies, and direct chat — feel like we're sitting next to you.

Loved by Directors & Studios

"

The character animation team brought our protagonist to life in ways our internal team couldn't. Subtle, expressive, on-model — every single shot.

Sarah Chen
Animation Director, Lumin Studios
"

We needed 14 hero rigs in three weeks. They delivered in two — and the quality matched what we'd seen from major Hollywood studios.

Marcus Rivera
Lead TD, Apex Game Studios
"

Their Bifrost simulation work for our ocean sequence was breathtaking. Saved us from blowing a six-figure budget on an external VFX vendor.

FAQ

Questions, Answered

How fast can you start a project?

Most projects kick off within 24–48 hours. After our discovery call we assemble the right artist or team and send a brief for sign-off the same day.

Do you sign NDAs?

Absolutely. Every team member signs strict NDAs and we operate on isolated project drives. Enterprise clients get a custom MSA tailored to their legal requirements.

What file formats can you deliver?

Native MA/MB scenes, FBX, Alembic, USD, OBJ, glTF, and any rendered output format you need (EXR, MOV, MP4, PNG sequences, etc.). Just tell us your pipeline and we'll match it.

Can I see daily progress?

Yes! We send dailies via Frame.io or your preferred review tool, hold weekly Zoom syncs, and you'll have direct Slack access to the team for instant feedback.

What if I'm not happy with the result?

We don't consider a project done until you love it. Pro and Enterprise plans include unlimited revisions, and if we still miss the mark, we'll refund any unused milestones.
