As you know, Maya is my software of choice for 3D modeling and animation, although that doesnt mean that I consider it to be a perfect package, and Ive been critical of it from time to time. This time we will take a look at whats new in Maya 2020 and the latest update.

Maya 2020 is now available as a standalone subscription or with a collection of end-to-end creative tools within the Autodesk Media & Entertainment Collection.

Rigging improvements: Simplify rig and character TD work with matrix-driven workflows, nodes for precisely tracking positions on deforming geometry, and a new GPU-accelerated wrap deformer.

Modeling enhancements: Spend more time modeling and less time cleaning up your models, with new Remesh and Retopologize features.

Viewport improvements: Interact with and select dense geometry or a large number of smaller meshes faster in the viewport and UV editors.

Bifrost for Maya: Significant performance improvements, Cached Playback support, and new MPM cloth constraints bring even more power to the visual programming environment.

Arnold GPU: Access Arnold 6 for production rendering on the CPU and GPU.

Animation bookmarks: Mark, organize, and navigate through specific events in time and frame playback ranges.

Cached Playback: Experience faster animation playback and more predictable results with new preview modes, layered dynamics caching, and more efficient caching of image planes.

Over 60 animation features and updates to the graph editor and time slider.

“This latest update is designed to help artists carry out their vision with greater speed, while also making the creative process more fun and engaging.” Building features driven by community feedback and making sure artists at every stage of production are able to work efficiently have been development priorities for Maya 2020,” said Chris Vienneau, senior director, Media & Entertainment products, Autodesk.

“As the demand for entertainment content continues to explode, artists need tools that augment the creative process, enabling them to work faster and put their best creative foot forward.
