I would like to use a Maya(Autodesk) 3D animation in a website but I don't have any clue how to do this. First, Is this possible? If yes what tools should I use. Should I put it in html div or iframe tag? Should I do it in JavaScript or in back-end(which is Java in my case)? Thank you!
Maya does not support this natively. You can export maya models to a webGl renderer like three.js and render that into a canvas element. Here's a very basic example: http://www.samwirch.com/blog/viewing-models-from-maya-in-webgl-with-threejs
