"GAUTAM VAID: Hi. This is Gautam Vaid. On behalf of Expert Village, I'm here to tell you about Maya 2008. So let's start with our work. I have my laptop here. I'll be showing you the interface. I'll be showing you the animation rough, yeah. Let's start. Okay, let's start with our work. Fine. Here, you can see this scene. It has been done in Maya. Now, this quality can be done in Maya or bigger quality, also, we can do. Fine. I will just click on the icon "Autodesk Maya 2008", which is the latest version of Maya to date. Double click on this and it will appear. It takes time because it's a heavy software. While installing the software, you should just remember, you should have minimum configuration of, like, your RAM, your DVD-writer, your DVD-ROM, your processor. You should have good processor to use in Maya. Windows Vista or XP or higher than that. It cannot work in 98. No."
