3D Artists Gain More Creative Control with New Autodesk Maya 8.5 SoftwareAutodesk today announced Autodesk Maya 8.5, the latest version of its Maya 3D animation, modeling and rendering software.
Maya is widely used for games development, as well as film and television visual effects production.
Now shipping, Maya 8.5 gives artists enhanced creative control, enabling faster completion of complex animations and simulations.
"Autodesk is committed to making Maya the foundation for modern production pipelines.
Maya 8.5 supports industry-standard Python scripting, offering improved workflows and development productivity," said Marc Petit, Autodesk's Media & Entertainment vice president.
"We're excited to offer Maya 8.5 as a Universal application for both Intel-based and PowerPC-based Macintosh computers.
As well, the software features innovative new capabilities for character animation; the new Maya Nucleus unified simulation framework enables interactive simulations while keeping artists in full control of the animation."
Maya Nucleus features technology developed by Autodesk's Academy Award-winning* Principal Research Scientist Jos Stam.
This unified simulation framework allows artists to create elements that interact, in a 3D animation, with other dynamic objects such as fluids, cloth and rigid bodies.
Maya 8.5 includes Maya nCloth, which is the first module of Maya Nucleus.
