Maya The Premier 3D Application
Alias|Wavefront brings us Maya, "the most open 3D application in the world". The core features of the Mac OS X version of Maya will be the same as those in Maya for other platforms. Maya on the Mac will be designed to work with all other Macintosh applications and therefore will let you use any of the Macintosh-based compositing solutions.

Market Your Mac OS X Games
QuickTime trailers are the quickest and easiest way to help us tease customers with your killer software. Apple is happy to introduce a process that makes getting your game trailers online easier than ever. If you are interested in receiving more information on how to get your Mac OS X game trailers into the Apple's Game Trailers Theater please email games@apple.com.

LightWave 3D Powerhouse 3D Graphics
Make the studio fat cats shake in their shoes, try adding special effects wizardry to your digital video repertoire as well. LightWave 3D is versatile enough to make the transition to and from all kinds of projects. Proven for years in television, film, and games, LightWave 3D is also being used to create graphics for print, web, industrial design, architecture, medical imaging, and anywhere else a 3D package is needed.
Cocoa
The Cocoa application environment runs natively under Mac OS X. For those who wish to develop for Mac OS X using rapid application development (RAD) tools and object-oriented techniques, the Cocoa frameworks provide a fast and complete way to do so. These frameworks offer both Java and Objective-C APIs.
Mac OS X

Countdown to Mac OS X
Learn more about Jaguar, the new version of Apple's Mac OS X operating system that brings a new level of openness and power to the Macintosh platform. Jaguar adds over 150 new features and other significant enhancements to Mac OS X.

Carbon
Carbon is the set of APIs you can use to write Mac OS X applications that also run on Mac OS 9 and previous versions (8.1 and later). Carbon is designed to provide a gentle migration path for developers transitioning from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X. Apple offers many resources to help port your applications over to Mac OS X, such as the Carbon Porting Guide (pdf) and the Carbon Dater.
OpenGL Killer 2D & 3D Graphics
Mac OS X has integrated a combination of Quartz, OpenGL and QuickTime - three of the most powerful graphics technologies available - to take the Mac's graphics capabilities beyond anything you've ever seen on a desktop operating system. Mac OS X features robust support for OpenGL, the industry standard for professional-quality rendering, texture-mapping and eye-popping 3D effects.
Wireless Gaming
Surf and play from your back porch! Apple's AirPort offers wireless access to the Internet (and online games) at the click of a mouse. Virtually all Apple hardware configurations are "AirPort-capable" allowing you to blast the competition anywhere, anytime!
