Figure 1-5: The simplified Maya pipeline typically includes the following
sequence of tasks (not necessarily in this order): Art Design and Storyboarding,
Sound Design, Layout, 3D ModelingTexturing and Shading, Animation Rigging,
Particles and FX, Animation Motion, Lighting and Rendering, and finally
Compositing and Video Editing.
Now that you have a plan, you are ready for Maya. In a real production pipeline,
you typically use Maya to perform some of the following major functions (which
are also illustrated in Figure 1-5):
Art Design and Storyboards
Scene Layout
3D Modeling
Texture and Shading
Lighting and Rendering
Animation Rigging
Animation Motion
