Maya is popular for its Animation as well. Maya’s Animation feature is so comprehensive to understand within few days, but for high level animations it will take some time to learn proper ways of animating objects within Maya. Actually there are a lot of levels in animation skill especially in Maya. For example, if your math is good you will definitely prefer to calculate the frames and write a single line of expression in MEL language of Maya, or if you good-understand the graph paper you should choose the Trax and graph Editor of Maya for setting up the curves on a graph paper for a very good and smooth animation and if you are dexterous at manual work you should prefer to learn and get skill on keyframe simple animation method because Maya gives set driven key option and motion path option for your keyframing skill.

So in short it’s said that Maya puts the soul in objects and make them alive with its animation feature. Actually if your XYZ concept is cleared, you will definitely be skilled at

animation because except controlling these three attributes of objects there is nothing in Animation. You will have to control XYZ attributes of your objects on different frames of time slider with different ways and according to the specific time.
