Maya Viewer is a companion app for Autodesk Maya that lets 3D artists review Maya scenes on iPhone and iPad, including AR placement. Connect to Maya over your local network using the free Maya Viewer Python plugin, then inspect scene geometry, materials, textures, cameras, lights, object statistics, and transforms from a clean mobile viewer. Features include live scene preview, AR placement, wireframe and texture viewing, Maya camera support, light controls, selected object review, mesh statistics, snapshots, demo mode, and basic transform controls for move, rotate, and scale.
