Create higher-quality characters, props, environments and visual effects with the 3D animation software Autodesk Maya 2014. Maya helps to optimize the efficiency of your production pipeline with new next-generation display technology, more efficient workflows and new tools for dealing with complex data. Advantage of new features:
Accelerate the modeling processes with advanced, integrated functions that are based on the technology of the NEX tool sets of dRaster. New features are:
Access to new selection, transformation, and mesh editing tools in one place with the new modeling toolbar.
Work on meshes created with the new topology-based symmetry-tools
Re-mesh topologization with the new quad-drawing tool
Fewer clicks thanks to a new multi-cut tool that combines a tool for breaking / cutting of surfaces and one for inserting Edge Loops
Automatic centering of joints in a mesh with the new snap mode snap-to-projected-center. Create symmetrical sprocket new joint-tool options.
Facilitate preparation of large, complex worlds with new Scene Assembly tools for intelligent data that will help you:
Manage the production inventory in Maya as discrete elements, each with full support for multiple representations.
Easy to switch between certain different representations with different levels of detail. This allows you to choose an appropriate balance between detail and performance for each task.
Revisions apply at different levels in the hierarchy of scene groups to animate, and query.
An improved processing system to track overrides to scene groups and to optimize processes in the collaboration.
By means of the stable programming interface to adapt the tools to meet your requirements and so develop your own solutions.
Highlight animations directly in the 3D scene with the Grease Pencil. With this intuitive tool for animation directors, customers and other users can easily record observations and comment representations.
Discover and fix broken file paths quickly and easily with the new File Path Editor and work with the help of the new URI support with non-local data.
