Look for the
tag throughout the Maya Help to find information on features that are new or updated in Extension 1.
Some highlights of this release are as follows:
- A powerful new 3D Type tool makes creating text in Maya easier than ever.
- New look development and shading nodes enable artists to create more sophisticated looks and shaders.
- Improved vector graphics support provides seamless interoperability with vector-based 2D design applications.
In addition, enhancements to game engine workflows make it easier to move from Maya Extension 1 to game engines, with better export options and a simplified user interface. Finally, interoperability with the new Stingray game engine means you can export 3D content from Maya Extension 1 directly into Stingray with live linking of geometry, characters, and camera position.
