Over the last couple of years UV layout in Maya has changed for the better. In this course we're going to be taking a look at some of those changes as we UV map an entire character

I believe that Monsters Inc., and Ice Age was made in Maya also.

All of Pixar's animations are done with in-house proprietary software called Marionette, not Maya.

Cool. I knew about mosters inc, but not toy story. I think it most 3d movies could be made easily in maya. But I havent really used any thing else. Besides C++.

As is says on A|W site, Ice Age was made in Maya. However, they do use HUGE plug-ins. Its about half plug-in writen just for what they want, and half actual Maya when they are done with it.
