What is Autodesk Maya 2024 for Mac?

Autodesk Maya 2024 for Mac is the macOS edition of Maya 2024, Autodesk’s 3D animation, modelling, effects and rendering software. Autodesk states that Maya 2024 runs natively on both Intel and Apple silicon, so it no longer relies on Rosetta translation for the main application, Arnold, Bifrost or the devkit.

It also covers macOS 11 Big Sur, the oldest macOS on any of our Maya listings. If you own an M1 MacBook Air that has never been upgraded, this is often the simplest version to install.

What Maya 2024 brings to the Mac

Based on Autodesk’s What’s New in Maya 2024 documentation.

Native Apple silicon support

Maya 2024 uses the arm64 instruction set on M-series Macs, and plug-ins can be built for Apple silicon or Intel.

Arnold for Maya 5.3.0 on Apple silicon

Arnold gained Apple silicon support in this release, with improved volume shading and a physical sky that separates sun and sky.

Substance 2.3.2

The Substance plug-in is included with Maya 2024.

Graph Editor curve sculpting

New brush-based tools for reshaping animation curves, useful on a trackpad as well as a mouse.

Mac-specific changes

Graphviz is no longer bundled on macOS and must be installed separately, and the default floating-point render target on macOS is now R16G16B16A16_Float.

Key features

  • Native arm64 build for M1 and M2 Macs, plus Intel support
  • Retopologize, Quad Draw and Unsmooth modelling tools
  • Graph Editor curve sculpting and a redesigned Time Slider
  • Multiple skin clusters per mesh for layered deformation
  • Arnold CPU rendering on Apple silicon
  • Bifrost 2.7 with MPM gel simulations
  • LookdevX technology preview for USD shading

Maya 2024 on Apple silicon vs Intel Macs

Apple silicon is the better platform for Maya 2024 because it runs natively there, but a few legacy features are missing on arm64. Intel Macs keep those features but are slower and limited to the same macOS 11 to 13 range.

Area Apple silicon Mac Intel Mac
Runs natively Yes (arm64) Yes (x86)
Installer May ask to install Rosetta 2 once No Rosetta needed
CgFX shaders Not supported (use GLSL) Supported, but GLSL recommended
SynColor Not supported (use OpenColorIO) Available, but being deprecated
stereoCamera plug-in Not supported Supported

Who is it for?

  • M1 and M2 Mac owners who want native Maya at a low price.
  • Macs on macOS 11 Big Sur: newer Maya versions do not list it.
  • Beginners learning from Maya 2024-era courses.
  • Animators keen on Graph Editor curve sculpting.
  • Studios keeping Mac seats aligned with a 2024 pipeline.

Frequently asked questions

Does Maya 2024 run natively on M1 and M2 Macs?

Yes. Autodesk states that Maya 2024 runs natively on both Intel and Apple silicon architectures. It was the first Maya release with native Apple silicon support, so it no longer depends on Rosetta for the main application.

Why does the Maya 2024 installer ask for Rosetta 2?

Because the installer itself is built for Intel. Autodesk notes you may be prompted to install Rosetta 2 once; after that you will not be asked again, and Maya itself still runs natively on Apple silicon.

Which macOS versions does Maya 2024 support?

Autodesk lists macOS 13.x, 12.x and 11.x for Maya 2024. macOS 14 Sonoma and later are not listed, so if your Mac is on a newer macOS, a later Maya version is the safer choice. For RAM, graphics and disk figures, see Autodesk’s Maya 2024 system requirements article.

Is Maya 2024 for Mac a one-off purchase?

No. It is a 1-year subscription for 1 Mac, not a perpetual licence. Autodesk only sells Maya on subscription, so after the year ends you renew to keep using it.

Can I move the licence to another Mac?

Yes, as long as it is active on 1 device at a time. Sign out of Maya on the old Mac and sign in with your Autodesk Account on the new one. Using both together is not allowed.

Will this work on a Windows PC?

No. This is the Mac edition of Maya 2024. A Windows PC needs the Windows edition. Your Maya scene files work on either platform, so you can share work across both.

What happens at the end of the 1-year term?

When the term ends, Maya 2024 is no longer licensed on your Mac. Your files stay on your drive, and you can renew or buy a new licence to keep using them in Maya.

How will I receive my licence?

By email, instantly after payment. You then sign in to your Autodesk Account and download the Mac installer as described in the email. Most orders arrive within minutes.

What features are missing on Apple silicon in Maya 2024?

Three, according to Autodesk: CgFX shaders, SynColor colour management and the stereoCamera plug-in are not supported on Apple silicon. Autodesk recommends GLSL shaders and OpenColorIO instead on all architectures.
