* Enhance fluidity and realism by generating complex motion with Maya Cloth
* Apply non-photorealistic rendering styles that mimic the look of comic books and impressionist paintings
* Emulate real-world camera motion, from dolly-and-pan movement to varying levels of camera shake
* Produce natural lighting effects using global illumination and image based lighting
* Ensure smooth and accurate transfer of character data from modeling to rigging to animation to lighting
* Control IK chains, deformers, and surfaces with Maya Hair's dynamic curves
* Use dynamics effectively to create flexible objects and add secondary effects to enhance your animation
* Use Maya's built-in noise function to produce powerful effects similar to those used in "The Matrix" trilogy
