MAYA System

The majority of design tasks in Maya are single threaded which makes a hi-clock speed CPU an ideal choice. The built-in render engine in Maya is Arnold. Many render engines including Arnold, Mental Ray, VRAY, Keyshot and others scale with hi-core count CPUs. Maya is not RAM intensive but a large amount of complex, hi-resolution rendering will require 64GB or more. Maya benefits from the use of a powerful GPU but if using render plug-ins multiple GPU can be helpful.
