For advanced 3D modeling, animation, special effects, rendering, and compositing, they provide Maya and 3ds Max. Additionally, ShotGrid serves the media and entertainment industry as a cloud-based platform for review processes and production tracking. Autodesk distributes its offerings both directly to customers and through an extensive network of authorized resellers and distributors.
