    Another software that we don't actually use anymore, but we did use for a long time is Autodesk Maya.

    Maya is also a 3D modeling and animation tool.

    So we don't really use Maya anymore for 3D modeling.

    We pretty much do all our modeling in Blender now.

    There might be a few models here and there that we still have them in Maya files, but for the most part, everything is being done in Blender now.

    And I actually only have one piece of software here, one tool to tell you guys about really, and that is Autodesk Maya.

    So I talked about Maya before with our 3D artists because we used to make our 3D models in Maya.

    We don't do that anymore, but we do still animate in Maya.

    So we use Maya for animation and also like rigging models so that they can be animated.

    So we weren't really gonna talk about plugins, but there aren't too many tools under the animation section anyway.

    And I was told by Max, our animator, that AnimBot is a worthy mention here.

    It's something that he really relies on, and it's essentially just a plugin that gives a bunch of extra tools that makes animating in Maya much easier.

    And he thinks that it's a great idea that if you're an animator and you haven't heard of AnimBot, that maybe you should check out AnimBot.

    So we're just gonna mention that here.

    Next up is VFX or visual effects.
