AUTODESK MAYA WORKSTATION PC


Maya by Autodesk is one of the main professional computer graphics software packages in the CG industry today. The program first saw the light of day in 1998 and remains a stalwart tool to this day.

The pedigree of the software cannot be denied. Maya has been used to provide visuals in some of the most iconic films in history. Including The Matrix and Avatar. Two films that changed the face of VFX forever and ushered in 21st century visual effects. Today Maya is used industry-wide in both film and television, with big-budget TV series such as Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead making liberal use of the software.

Maya is known for its advanced effects. These include realistic fluid, fur, hair and cloth simulation. Thanks to its specific use in film and television Maya also has tools that detect camera tracking and motion and composites onto film with relative ease.

SYSTEM RECOMMENDATIONS:
While Maya will of course eat up as much computational power as you are willing to throw at it, not every Maya workstation needs to be a high-end behemoth. It all depends on which parts of the CG workflow a given workstation is intended for.

Maya for Modeling and Animation only
The bulk of the CG workflow is actually done with only basic wire frames and low-quality placeholder textures and models. These computers only have to deal with wire frames, scene-setting exercises or interactive previews and editing that do not have any fancy rendering in real time. You may need many of these and only a few dedicated high-end rendering machines, depending on the way your team is structured. The most effective way to set up machines meant for these tasks is to have a good mid-range professional GPU and the fastest single-socket solution you can get.

CPU & GPU Modeling, Animation and Rendering
These days the massively parallel power of GPUs are being harnessed to enable you to have a tiny render farm right on your desk. These systems feature multiple GPUs to accelerate certain types of rendering tasks significantly.

Operating systems supported by Maya:
Windows 11 64-Bit (all versions)
Microsoft Windows 10 Professional

Titan X170 - 13th Gen Intel Core Series 24 Cores Processor Mobile Workstation PC for CAD Designs Titan X170 - 13th Gen Intel Core Series 24 Cores Processor Mobile Workstation PC for CAD Designs

Not every power user who has to take to the road needs a portable rendering station.The X170M is perfect for the professional who prioritizes CPU threads over GPU power to create a powerhouse notebook that is also truly portable. If you’re a non-3D creative professional on the go the X170M may just be the perfect workstation for you.





Starting Price: $1,595.00
Titan S161 - 11th Gen Intel Core Series Processors Rackmount Workstation PC up to 10 CPU cores Titan S161 - 11th Gen Intel Core Series Processors Rackmount Workstation PC up to 10 CPU cores

The S161 rack-mounted workstation is quite possibly the most balanced workstation solution we offer, now in a space-efficient format taking up only 4Us of rack space. Starting with a modest yet powerful base configuration, you can configure your S161 into exactly the sort of compact CAD/CAM workstation you need.





Starting Price: $1,925.00
Titan W161 - 11th Gen Intel Core Series Processors Workstation PC for CAD Modeling up to 16 CPU cores Titan W161 - 11th Gen Intel Core Series Processors Workstation PC for CAD Modeling up to 16 CPU cores

With its sporty twin-fan front intake and clean sports car lines, you’d be forgiven for thinking that our W161 is another hotrod PC meant for entertainment. The truth is this one of our most balanced workstations aimed at accelerating the workflow of CAD/CAM professionals while providing enough multi-core power to remain flexible. Sporting the latest Intel Comet Lake i9 technology, the W161 is a sign that your CAD workstations need an upgrade.





Starting Price: $1,995.00
Titan S261 - 13th Gen Intel Core Series Processors 4U Rackmount Workstation PC for CAD/CAM up to 24 CPU Cores Titan S261 - 13th Gen Intel Core Series Processors 4U Rackmount Workstation PC for CAD/CAM up to 24 CPU Cores

Designing a server for CAD/CAM users is always a challenge. These workloads benefit from fast single-core performance, but having many cores speeds up CPU-based final rendering. Use a CPU with too many cores, and the minute-to-minute design experience can suffer thanks to low single-core performance. Intel’s 12th and 13th generation hybrid desktop CPUs offer the perfect solution, with fast performance cores for the design phase and numerous efficiency cores to tear through CPU rendering when you’re done.




Starting Price: $2,120.00
Titan W299 - Intel Core i9 Cascade Lake Series 3D / CAD Workstation PC up to 18 Cores Titan W299 - Intel Core i9 Cascade Lake Series 3D / CAD Workstation PC up to 18 Cores

Skylake X has landed with a bang, bringing substantial performance improvement to an already over-achieving CPU family. The W299 gives this newest extreme Intel processor line a comfortable home and makes the possibility of owning a 18 core & 36 threads monster down the line real. The Skylake X powered Titan W299 now represents high-end processing power at a surprisingly affordable price.






Starting Price: $2,420.00
Titan W261 - 13th Gen Intel Core Series Processors Workstation PC for CAD/CAM up to 24 CPU Cores Titan W261 - 13th Gen Intel Core Series Processors Workstation PC for CAD/CAM up to 24 CPU Cores

Dynamite may come in small packages, but the Titan W261 is more like a brick of C4 ready to blow a hole through your workload. With the latest Alder Lake 13th-generation Intel CPU technology, you can crunch the big numbers in the background while getting on with writing those reports (or watching YouTube) in the foreground.

X299 VULCAN - Intel Cascade Lake-X Core i9 All Cores Overclocked / 3D Rendering Workstation Computer X299 VULCAN - Intel Cascade Lake-X Core i9 All Cores Overclocked / 3D Rendering Workstation Computer

In mythology Vulcan was the god of blacksmiths and the forge. In other words, he was the god of technology. We reserve the name “Vulcan” for our own limit-pushing machines that have been tuned to get the most out of their carefully-selected components. The Vulcan 10 brings the latest in 10th-generation Core i9 technology to the mid-tower form-factor. The Vulcan rig is one of our most customized systems yet and performs in a way no stock system with the same components can. If you’re looking for a powerful multi-core workstation for 3D rendering or any thread-hungry workloads, the X299 Vulcan 10 is in a class of its own.
