Mostof the information we need from you is collected through the web form you complete when submitting your content. This includes gathering information to create an HTML quick-start page that is included with the download of your product and viewable online.
The default user privilege for the Store apps is Windows 7/10/11 Admin User. The installer should have elevated user privileges. For MacOS, the user will need the root password like for every application installed on a Mac. For Linux, the user can either install as single user or root.
Your product should be stable and not behave or alter the behavior of Maya in a way that we deem unsuitable, for example, blocking standard functionality, blocking the functionality of another plug-in, causing data loss, etc.
If you use a licensing system, then it must allow your product to run as soon as it is installed by the user. This means that your application allows either instant activation (for example, online activation), or full functionality with a time-bombed grace period that is long enough for you to send activation information to the customer.
There are no additional requirements for products that are not integrated with Maya. This might include eBooks, video tutorials, industry specific calculators, connectors to cloud-based services, and the like.
The plug-in files will be contained in a specific folder and a PackageContents.xml file (created by the installer we create for your app) will be stored within this bundle folder together with the contents that you need for your application:
PackageContents.xml contains a series of XML tags that describe the contents of the bundle, including the various components of the application. These tags will define where to load the application from, and also details about the application such as version(s) it supports.
We must get and assign your own NodeID when your plug-in defines a custom node. Autodesk supports a developer registration scheme to prevent Maya node conflicts between different applications. Register your own block.
If your app or content has any special requirements that the standard installer template cannot handle as is, let us know. For example, if you have specific requirements for your app to be written to a single-user, we can create the installer that install only to the current user.
For any other special needs that require a custom installation, you can provide them in the form of Windows Installer Merge Modules (.msm) files. We will merge your MSM file with the Windows Installer (.msi) file that we create for your app. Examples of such a scenario would be: writing entries to the registry for a licensing system you are using, installing dependent components by other vendors, and running custom scripts. For additional information, contact us at

The installer that the ADN team creates for your app includes a button that allows the user to view the standard End User License Agreement (EULA) during the app installation.
Note: This EULA is not modifiable. If you wish to include your own EULA to your app, you can do either:
The App Store is here to help you be a successful publisher on the Autodesk App Store. If you have any further questions after reviewing these guidelines and the other documentation on the Autodesk App Store Publisher Center, email us at

It seems like Autodesk is keen on continuing the proud tradition of giving absolutely useless system requirements in the same vein as Unreal and Unity. It is just barely better than Unity in the magnitude of its uselessness.
The single-core performance of a CPU would still be important, but the most important aspect of it would be the number of cores it has as it almost directly correlates with the speed at which you can render on your CPU.
As long as you have at least 4 cores, core frequencies of at least 2GHz, a mid-range GPU or iGPU, and 8GBs of RAM, you should be able to do any sort of low-poly modeling that you want without too many issues.
The only real way to deal with this is to reduce the poly count of the models in your scene, and if possible, perhaps see if you might be able to instantiate certain parts of your scene in order for it to run faster.
HI, I work in animation in maya and im thinking of getting an amd card (either a 6600 or 6600 xt). Could i have driver issues working ? is it more unstable? i dont plan to do any rendering, the clients manage that. Thanks!
About CGDirector
CGDirector is all about Computer-Builds & Hardware-Insight for Content Creators in 3D-Animation, Video Editing, Graphic Design & many more fields of Digital Content Creation. Our main goal is to help PC-Builders and -Buyers in Computer Graphics find the best Hardware Components for their Workstations, maximizing efficiency and performance.
Laptops are a required material for all majors in Computer Animation, Graphic Design, Photography and Studio Art. Laptops will be required to complete assignments in WASH, Foundations in Digital Art, and all Computer Animation, Graphic Design and Photography courses. Macintosh Laptops are strongly recommended. Other laptops that meet the specifications of the Macbooks listed must be able to run listed software used in each program. Students who do not use Macbooks will be responsible for their own troubleshooting if their laptops are incompatible with software or equipment used in the Department of Art.
The personal computer is an indispensable tool in the creation of art and design. While we understand the expense our laptop requirement creates, the benefits of having around the clock access to your own digital studio are well worth the investment. Working around lab and class schedules doesn't always provide the best time for students to work. If inspiration hits at 2 am or over Spring break, having access to your studio is invaluable. We are confident that our students will produce more work, better work, and spend more time being creative.
Macintosh computers have long been the industry standard in design, photography and fine art studios everywhere. We feel strongly that experience with this environment will greatly benefit our students as they prepare to enter the world of art and design. Apple computers are well made and frequently remain in use for several years, making them a valuable and dependable investment. Macs have excellent displays and render images and typography of very high quality. Exchanging files, managing fonts, printing, and other routine tasks are generally handled well by Macintosh systems. This consistent computing environment makes teaching easier and avoids the difficulties of supporting multiple systems and software.
Please note that these special discounts are only available to SHSU students, faculty, and staff. If you meet this requirement, click the following link and log in with your SHSU username and password.
Students are also encouraged to purchase Applecare protection for their Macintosh Laptop. Applecare covers unforeseen accidents or technical problems after the initial warranty. Laptop repairs can be expensive, and Apple's protection plan is usually effective and quick.
The first step is knowing which degree program to pursue and what the minimum hardware and software requirements are for that program. Recommended systems are listed below. When purchasing software be sure to specify the Macintosh version. Packaging and online ordering can sometimes be confusing, and accidentally ordering the Windows version will create an avoidable hassle.
Software Requirements
Adobe Creative Cloud (Student and Teacher Edition)
Autodesk Maya- Maya is available for free download to currently registered students at
students.autodesk.com.
Financial Aid may adjust funding for qualified Art students for the purchase of required hardware and software if the student has been awarded up to their budget. Keep in mind that financial aid is not guaranteed to students simply because they are Art students, you must qualify! Please contact Financial Aid for more information.
Heres how the financial aid assistance program will work as specified by financial aid:
One time Cost of Attendance adjustment may be available to qualified financial aid students.
Increasing the Cost of Attendance may not increase a student's award package or eligibility.
Additional funding will likely be through a loan program, either a Federal Direct loan or an Alternative loan.
Students must have applied for Federal student aid and have been awarded aid at SHSU for the semester.
Students must maintain academic eligibility for financial aid.
Students should print out their desired Mac and software specs with pricing.
Financial Aid will provide a Cost of Attendance Adjustment Request form for student use.
Students need proof that they are in a program that requires a Mac.
Students must visit Financial Aid with the required documentation to discuss available funding options.
To request financial aid support for the purchase of your Apple laptop and Adobe software,request a Cost of Attendance Adjustment Request form from the Financial Aid Office. Submit the completed form along with cost estimates for your desired Apple laptop and Adobe software to the SHSU Financial Aid Office.
