Maya scene format is a scene description format used by the Maya 3D modeling and animation software. There are two variants: Maya ASCII (.ma), and Maya Binary (.mb). Maya Binary is apparently based on the same variant of IFF used by Maya IFF.
Maya was originally developed by Alias, and is now owned by Autodesk.
