Autodesk Maya LT 2015 Coming to Steam

Today Autodesk announced that Maya LT 2015 is coming to Steam, Valve’s popular entertainment platform.

Maya LT brings its powerful animation and modeling feature set to Steam’s active community

Maya LT brings its powerful animation and modeling feature set to Steam’s active community of over 65 million gamers, developers and artists to help them create 3D game assets to personalize their games and bring them into popular Steam titles like “Defense of the Ancients 2” (DoTA 2) or to create assets for use in their own games.

 

“The Valve community is unique, because it includes a very engaged mix of both gamers and developers working together to mod titles and generate content.

We hope Maya LT will further that creative spirit and help a Steam user of any skill level to create high quality 3D game assets,” said Frank Delise, director, games solution, Autodesk. “We’re engaging with the community on day one by participating in forums, answering questions and offering custom tutorial content for ‘DoTA 2’ fans.

We can’t wait to try new things with the community and see how they push Maya LT to its limit and beyond.”
