| Enhanced User Interface
The updated Maya user interface gives you a consistent, enhanced user experience on all supported platforms and offers a new look, dockable UI elements, more flexible editors, and a new color chooser and file browser. |
| Faster Skinning Workflow
Create skinned characters with more realistic deformations in less time. New skinning tools and workflows include a dual quaternion option for smooth skinning, interactive volume binding, multiple enhancements to the Paint Skin Weights tool, deformer weight mirroring, and a surface falloff mode for the Wrap deformer. |
| Nondestructive Live Retargeting
Reuse, correct, and enhance motion-capture and other animation data with a new nondestructive retargeting workflow that uses the Autodesk® HumanIK® (HIK) libraries. Transfer animations from one character to another and adjust retargeting parameters live to see and edit results without the need to rebake. |
