Alias' best-known product, the 3D modeling and animation package [[Autodesk Maya|Maya]], was delivered in 1998 and has released a major upgrade every 9–12 months. The last release made by Alias was Maya 7.0. Since the purchase by Autodesk all versions after 8.5 use a year-based naming convention, such as Maya2008.

Other products include; the industrial design package [[StudioTools]] (formerly known as Studio, or just "Alias"), which is used extensively in the automotive, aerospace and industrial design industries, a 2D drawing and sketching application called [[Autodesk SketchBook Pro|SketchBook Pro]], and in 1992, an early Macintosh based 3D modelling and rendering package called Sketch!<ref>{{Cite web|title=Alias Sketch! v1.5 - Macintosh Repository|url=https://www.macintoshrepository.org/2702-alias-sketch-v1-5|access-date=2017-07-24|website=www.macintoshrepository.org}}</ref> which was the precursor of Alias Maya. Sketch provided the basis of the core [[non-uniform rational B-spline]]  (NURBS) editing tools, which in turn was based on a product that the company bought, and its key developer went to work for Alias.
