Autodesk Maya 2014 – new features 3D-modeling and animation
Autodesk has introduced a new release of its powerful set of tools for 3D-modeling, animation and rendering, called Maya 2014.
This new release includes the most advanced display technology, the
means of accelerated simulation, new mechanisms to deal with complex
data sets, as well as various support tools for a fashion designer.
New panel Modeling Toolkit provides users streamlined environment
that offers designers access to innovative tools for selecting,
transforming elements and editing mesh surface. All of these tools are
collected in a single panel for more efficient operation.
Topological Symmetry of a series of tools to help designers to work
with a grid of points in the figures of living characters. Here you can
find the tool “quad” drawing, which helps change the topology once on
all the limbs of the character; “multiblade” knife for splitting and
trimming surfaces, as well as tools to cut the closed lines in one
operation. New polygon reduction algorithm offers a fast and efficient
method to reduce the complexity of the surfaces by removing unneeded
verticals without sacrificing the basic shape of the object.
Maya 2014 New Features: Advanced Modeling Workflow
Tools to build scenes, built on the Open Data, offering ready
mechanism to display workforce Maya as discrete elements. Each of these
elements separately itself provides full support for different views.
Designer can easily switch between different views. The use of animation
and request edits can be made at any level of the hierarchy of the
scene, and all changes can be tracked using an improved system Edits
(“Revisions”), ensuring effective cooperation in large groups for the
production of audio-visual production. Flexible programming interface
API helps large studios to make their own improvements to the tools,
creating a full-scale corporate solutions.
Maya 2014 New Features: Node Editor
Among other improvements the developers say the updated animation
production process, a number of important changes in the technology
review scenes Viewport 2.0 knots and editor, as well as an extended
comparison of the clips in the timeline Trax. It should further be noted
the new editor of paths, support for identifiers in the format of URI,
management alignment and symmetry of the joints, as well as technology
support PySide, which provides a Python binding to the software platform
Qt. Finally, in the Maya 2014 release fixes some annoying defects that
were in previous versions of the product for many years.
Maya 2014 New Features: Scene Assembly Tools
For an introduction to Maya 2014 package is available the official
demo. Full-featured version of the famous 3D-modeler needs to run
Windows 7 or Windows 8 Pro, Mac OS X 10.7 or 10.8, or Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6.2 WS. Of equipment requires a 64-bit multi-core Intel or AMD,
at least 4 GB of RAM and at least 2 GB of free hard disk space for
installation. Maya 2014 license per user in North America is U.S. $
3495.
