If you are a student of 3D Animation or better still, a 3D professional, knowing everything about Autodesk Maya 3d animation software is more important than knowing how to breathe or knowing who your parents and siblings are! Yes, if you are not aware or have not cared to update yourself, you either do not care for a career in Maya modeling or are in a suicidal course! And in 2018, Maya Modelling has become even better with more features as mentioned below.
- Fast rigging
Most folks detest rigging as it takes time and considerable energy. But Autodesk Maya 3D animation software has all the right answers especially its super-fast and super-cool new rigging tool which functions with just one mouse-click and the result, predictably is AWESOME!. If despite all its jazzy rigging features, Autodesk Maya 3D Max doesn’t seem to work for you, it does have other tools like the “Delta Mush” tool to help to rig dummies find their way out.
- Considerable finesse in Bifrost’s working
Bifrost just befriended its new BOSS (Bifrost Ocean Simulation System)! As the name suggests, BOSS is the BOSS when it comes to creating awesomely real ocean simulations- and that too only of that part of the ocean where you want to show action (or interaction!). And this isn’t all! Considerable improvement has been made in the Foam system which gives leeway to create much, much more realistic surface detailing like never before.
These now come as standard extensions to the Autodesk Maya 3d animation software suite which means you can effectively say goodbye to add-ons and the likes which till a while were the in-thing given the lack of alternatives.
- Changes in Timing Editor
The timing editor was always an editing feature of Autodesk Maya 3d animation software suite. What has now been added is a non-linear editing methodology which makes it possible to do non-deleting edits to both animation and audio files and details. What it means now is that edits can be done by adding either from within existing scenes or from those imported from other sources. A crouch and a run can be seamlessly put together into a whole and the animation feature shall end up looking with an even hitch-free flow.
- Graph Editor
The new Autodesk Maya 3ds max software now sports a brand-new “graphics processing unit” or the GPU with its own enhanced UI which has featured at par (if not better than) with the time editor mentioned before. This goes on to show that Autodesk Maya is geared to try and continue with its position as the Prima Donna software in the field of animation and VFX. The Graph Editor in parts is also increasingly interactive with additional features such as a time slider mentioned earlier and play range.
- The new Autodesk Maya 3ds max software’s significantly improved performance
Maya was always just that Maya, unpredictable, yet awesome. And in 2018, with enhanced mesh editing features, its output has trebled or shall we say quadrupled!
- Significant improvements in Autodesk Maya 3ds max software’s UI
All the main panels in Maya’s UI in all its suites are now dockable! What this now means is that you don’t have so many windows open and a sprawl of UIs every time you work on Autodesk Maya Software! On first sight, this may seem nothing significant but a close look does confirm one fact. That of Autodesk Maya becoming much more accessible and workable especially for newbies and ones with fairly limited knowledge of animation and related software!
So, friends, this concludes our take on the newest and most awesome features of Maya 3d animation software, the world’s leading animation software which one ought to know if one is to be anywhere in the reckoning in animation!
