Autodesk предлагает мобильным разработчикам новый инструмент 3D моделирования Maya LT 2014, урезанную версию пакета, который используется крупными телевизионными, кино и игровыми студиями, но ранее недоступный инди-разработчикам из-за цены. Новая версия лишилась нескольких возможностей – включая скрипты и использование плагинов. Кроме того, можно будет использовать только 25 000 полигонов при экспорте.



Autodesk launched the first extension for Autodesk Maya LT — the company's recently released 3D modeling and animation tool designed specifically for independent and mobile game developers.
With new features such as improved interoperability with Unity3D, an increased polygon count and more, Maya LT Extension 1 simplifies the export of 3D content into artists' desired game engines and expands 3D modeling capabilities.

Key features in Maya LT Extension include:
- Improved Interoperability with Unity: A new “Send to Unity” workflow allows artists to export 3D assets with unlimited polygon counts from Maya LT directly into the asset folder of a Unity project.
— Increased Polygon Count for Export: Export high-resolution models or scenes up to 65,000 polygons in the Autodesk FBX asset exchange format to the desired game engine.
— New Retopology Toolset: First integrated in Maya 2014 and now part of Maya LT, NEX modeling technology streamlines the retopology workflow. Artists can optimize meshes for cleaner deformations and better performance using a single toolset within Maya LT.
— Advanced Booleans: Maya LT now employs a robust and efficient new library for faster and more reliable Boolean operations on polygon geometry.
— FBX Export Improvements: Advanced support for exporting accurate geometry normals (binormals) facilitates consistent surface shading when assets are rendered in-engine.



Autodesk helps people imagine, design and create a better world. Everyone—from design professionals, engineers and architects to digital artists, students and hobbyists—uses Autodesk software to unlock their creativity and solve important challenges.
