Hi all,

Yes I know that version 5 has just come out but,

I'm keen to see what people would like to see in future versions of Maya, eg. 5.5 etc.....????

I find (using a variety of 3d applications) that Maya is still behind many other 3d apps in numerous ways. btw I still love Maya!!!!!

This is not meant to be a winge list, but while AW was securing seats in Maya (post sept 11) by lowering their price, etc..

other company's made huge leaps forward in research and development of their products.

I'd be really keen to see,

much, much faster SubD's (I don't need 12 levels of refinement maybe just 2)

well implemented proportional modelling tools on par with other 3d apps.

the display of weight curves on clips and poses in trax.

the ability to cache a viewport like xsi. eg. open to full screen your 100 K One-piece SubD character, cache the viewport and watch your character move in real time while you navigate your 3d viewport.

Make multiple blendshapes from a single mesh.

Anyway,

Maya has a fantastic interface together with some excellent tools also.

Version 2.0 of Maya was way ahead of the pack, its seems most other apps have caught up somewhat and some have gone on ahead.

Have your say

btw, this is not a Maya/AW knocking thread just a concerned user sharing his thoughts.

I invite you to tell AW what 'YOU' want from them.
