Building on its foundation at the core of many modern production pipelines, Maya 2020 software offers next-generation display technology, accelerated modeling workflows, robust new systems for handling complex data, and inspiring new creative toolsets to help content creators stay ahead of their competition.
With an expanded, integrated modeling feature set that helps increase modeling efficiency; an intuitive new Grease Pencil for blocking out and marking up animation; and innovative new Paint Effects surface and volume attributes, Maya 2020 helps both improve productivity and put creativity back at the artists' fingertips. Moreover, the Maya 2020 DirectX Shader, together with enhancements to Viewport 2.0, enable artists to work in a high- quality real-time environment that closely matches final output. And, with the Scene Assembly tools, File Path Editor, and URI support that make building and managing large and complex worlds easier, Maya 2020 helps artists, TDs, and developers create the stunning content they need to exceed the expectations of today's sophisticated audiences.
