Here's the one we've all been waitng for!!



Maya 5

Ive just picked out a few points :D

Maya now has four new rendering options!!! The improved software renderer, Mental Ray 3.2 (Fully integrated by the looks of it, please God please God lol), an all new vector renderer (woohoo) and an all new hardware renderer 20 times faster than b4....phew

The speed of the dynamics computation is upto a whopping 90% increase in areas...heehee

Maya paint effect can now be converted to polygons! luverly hehe

A new fur clamping system...oh boy


Have I missed out anything exciting? hehe

heh we both posted at the exact same time....

wow!!! flash export, vector rendering,, improved polygonal modelling, paint effects to polygons (there is something i want to tell you, but i cant, violates NDA laws), the dynmamics... phew.. damn these people, just when i thought i was having the latest version of maya.. boom!! a .5 added to my version!!!

yes... you have missed out the vector rendering option and flash export

nope mentioned vector renderer :D

but yes i forgot the flash exporter

I hope they release more info soon, as I really don't see any major improvments as of yet...

Extrude Graph Widget
