Autodesk Maya offers professionals the creative process cross cutting with a complete set of tools for 3D animation, modeling, simulations and visual effects, rendering, compositing and motion tracking based on easily expandable platform. All of these capabilities in a single application offer exceptional value to professionals in computer graphics. Maya 2012 can now run on 64 bit platform, Mac OS X. The new version improved user interface, procedures, character animation and interaction with the viewport, adds new features 3D editing, built in color management.

Mental Ray for Maya Satellite this is a new kind of network rendering engine that takes advantage of additional processors for mental ray engine for Maya render. This makes it possible to increase the speed of interactive miscalculation (including IPR), to increase productivity batch rendering (including launch from the command line), affect the coverage (pre lighting) textures and points. Mental Ray for Maya Satellite is no substitute for mental ray Standalone for applications such as render farm.

Joe Alters Shave & Haircut 5.1 V 4 for Maya 2010 x32Bit / x64Bit - 37 MB

Joe Alter Shave and a Haircut is a plugin for Maya, that creates extra realistic hair and fur surfaces. With this, you can create furry animals, grasses, haircuts, mustaches and so on. And this is not only about extra rendering-realistic, but also extra dynamic-realistic hair/fur. Combining advantages from both Maya Fur and Maya Hair modules inside itself, JA S&H is a perfect decision for your production. It makes creating of haircuts much easier with much finer level of control and much less rendering time. S&H also MentalRay- and RenderMan-compatible, so you can create super-photorealistic renderings using with no additional compositing.

Shave and a Haircut 2 has made creating and rendering CG hair an absolute pleasure for us, both on past projects and our current show Hellboy . It's entire range of hair-based effects from scraggly beards to full length hair, come out looking beautiful with surprisingly minimal render times. Shave will remain an integral part of our digital double production pipeline for many projects to come.

V-Ray - The system of rendering (imaging), developed by Chaos Group. V-Ray had worked well in the architectural rendering, widely used in film and on television, thanks to a good relationship between the rate rendering of image quality and great opportunities. V-Ray is fully constructed on the basis of the Monte Carlo method (Quasi Monte Carlo - QMC, and its further implementation of the firm - DMC).

In this series of lessons, we will learn the process of rendering your Maya scene into multiple passes, and using some advanced techniques for compositing these passes using Toxik.

Autodesk Maya 2011 software features powerful new tools for helping create and repurpose character animation: enhanced skinning capabilities and non-destructive live motion retargeting.
