All Maya 2025 3D Modeling Updates Under 5 Minutes!

[@thegeooclarke]

That smart extrude is something I've been wanting in maya for yearssss. In the days of Google sketchup this was the standard (albeit not as topologically smart) and always missed having such basic and useful feature.

[@HS-eq3gk]

Yeah I used to use fusion 360 for cad and it worked like that , glad its gonna be hete

[@andrewsmith4575]

Solid set of additions. Smart extrude and bevel filtering look particularly useful.

[@gdkermit9953]

That bevel Boolean intersection will be game changing

[@edh3268]

awesome fast update thank you! Mine was probably the smart extrude because it now can act similar to Inventor or FreeCAD extrude/pad workflows.

[@andrikarlhelguson2281]

Bevel by angle and Hard and soft edges. Finallyyy

[@jlmussi]

Yup, that's my favorite update!

[@balazs.gyurics]

Maya is starts to improve on the field of modelling it is closing up the gap to Houdini and its nearly there. (unfortunately the Maya indie license is still 2× as expensive as Houdini indie)

[@UtterUnit]

Oh man those are actually some really nice modeling updates

[@jlmussi]

Solid line up this year.

[@jeffyboi6969]

Yo that smart extrude is crazy. As well as the bevel boolean. I work in airforce virtual reality creation as a modeler and theres sooo many ridiculous aircraft parts that look insane and require booleans or quad drawing off of a 3d scan.

[@HugoBossMtl]

Getting closer and closer to CAD baby !!!😁

[@SeregaZinin]

Not of course

[@trance4life618]

Tnx for the info. If possible , please make a step by step tutorial of the hand which you used in this video

[@flamingburitto]

We're not even 1/4th way into 2024. And maya is already in 2025...

[@UtterUnit]

I'm pretty sure that's just the standard release cycle.

[@bren8k]

😂

[@4536647674]

The year version is increasing but the performance is going backwards..but maya is still the best though despite their shit

[@UtterUnit]

@@4536647674 Idk, this was a pretty nice update, and the one thing about maya is it builds on top of features. Blender will completely nuke a substantial part of the program, and you will be forced to relearn it.

[@jlmussi]

@@UtterUnit Their release schedule has been like this for a long time.

[@whitebeartigtig]

Pretty sweet lineup this year, you just love to see it. If it's stable enough, it may even get me to upgrade from Maya 2022. I guess we'll see. I've had a lot of issues with 2023 and 2024. Smart extrude is one of those features that should have been in Maya a very long time ago, and as someone who's still relatively new to 3D modelling, that's exactly how I would expect it to work, but quickly learnt that it doesn't.

[@artbybruno1734]

Cool T-shirt JL! 😁Love it!

Any chance we can get a course on making that bicycle from your Hard surface masterclass?

[@karadanvers6136]

are you able to make animations using nCloth or using dynamics with maya 2025? i can't. maya only renders the first frame for the whole sequence. im using arnold. Any advice? i called autodesk and they haven't figured it out either. :( so frustrating.

[@king9853]

[@cutedumbpanda8066]

Hey, what happened to your hard surface modeling course?

[@martin9202]

Looking very handy :) Cannot wait to try the smart extrude (that's been such a pain...) Bevels... I don't know... I like to have full control of bevels, but for some less important assets it will speed up the process.

[@jlmussi]

Handy...I see what you did there. 🤣

[@BadMouseRM]

[@Liberty_stn]

Smart Extrude is wonderful! It saves us a lot of time...

[@kalpit3d934]

Plasticity is best for hard surface modelling. It is completely a new way of working Polygon and Nurbs together.

[@jlmussi]

Plasticity doesn't use polygons.

[@kalpit3d934]

@@jlmussi but can export to polygons at any resolution and with working topology that can be tweaked in poly modelling. But if all quad topology is your love then you should stay away from it. I don't know why people always want quad even if it is not meant for deformation and destruction physics.

[@MartyRxMurdeRz]

@@kalpit3d934Do you feel special bringing up software that is not related to the video. No one asked about Plasticity.

[@kalpit3d934]

@@MartyRxMurdeRz the reply is necessary because for hard surface, i think the whole industry is wasting its time on its primitive thinking "All quads" that is not true as per current technology because at the end only final shading of the model matters which works for 90% times when you are not going for deformation/physics on it, for that you can always retoplogise your model either automatic or manual and that will give you better control over your previously built toplogy while struggling for all quads as you have a complete shape on which you can retopologise easily with control over your edgeflow. Even the greatest master of 3ds max (Arrimus3d) hybrid his workflow to max+plasticity so why i shouldn't tell this to everyone. just see his youtube channel and you will know the mastery he get in HardSurface.

[@Daniel_Vital]

I have alot of issues with crashes, but they mostly happen when I am UV mapping. Is there any way to avoid this?

[@osefman2763]

[@coughman9833]

you used weird sound effects in your video, like in 1:13, which made me stand up and check the door or to see if something has fell down or my room is haunted or something.

[@GlenGramling]

I love smart extrude, but why couldn't they have made a way to set it as shift+drag.

[@jlmussi]

That's already the shortcut for move extrude.

[@endizero]

maya 2025? what!!! / amazing

[@infomanhead]

Is it just me or the renaming tool is not working properly since maya 2025 dropped?

[@Ruben3D]

Maya needs a sculpt mode. Maybe mudbox inside

[@UtterUnit]

Maya does have a sculpt mode that is really underrated. It could be improved, but it's helped me out at reducing pinching on bad topology.

[@Ruben3D]

@@UtterUnit It are tools for mesh. With this tools are impossible to sculpt anything from scratch.

[@andrewsmith4575]

Maya's sculpt tools are decent. They aren't ZBrush but they're useable for small jobs.

[@Ruben3D]

@@andrewsmith4575 Blender has better sculpt than Maya and it is free . Maya doesn't have sculpt mode only tools for retouch meshes.

[@MartyRxMurdeRz]

@@Ruben3D Why do you waste your time to make points about Blender when this is a video about Maya. Why don't you go watch content about blender instead of berating people about a program no one asked about.

[@UserNumeroUnoo]

Smart extrude is awesome, like in 3ds max

[@wafi5576]

only if they would bring 3ds max modifier stack

[@Мирный_атом]

Si estas son las grandes actualizaciones para la próxima versión, es hora de abandonar el barco, no tiene sentido, son operadores sencillos y regulares para los usuarios de Blender, algunos desde hace mas de 1 década. ¿Extrude edges?, ¿Extrude manifold?, Bevel by angles, Sharp o attributos, son opciones qué en Blender se dan por sentadas desde hace años.

[@arielmiranda15]

viewport - 10 years old, any improvements. shader graph editor - 20 years old, any improvements. ui - still very bugy and the same for 10 years. UV - RizomUV soo much better. smart extrude should be introduced 5 years ago, nowdays every program have it. very very bad autodesk, as always

[@joaoguilhermenextlevel302]

Do you realize what you just said, you basically said Maya is 20 years ahead of everyone, that's why updates often have so little new content...

[@Zeffyras]

I have been using Blender as a modeler for the last four years, and I can tell that there are a lot of stuff that need improved. Unfortunately development of polymodeling in Blender is pretty much dead, at least for the last couple years.

[@Justinpitchford]

[@MartyRxMurdeRz]

Do you just sit around and wait for Maya videos to come up so you can post about Blender?

[@jensenraylight8011]

Blender isn't Heavy duty, it can't perform a Gargantuan amount of heavy load of over the top movie vfx. Maya had to make sure that everything will run smoothly in the worst case scenario, therefore everything is much more optimized for heavy duty. while Blender don't give a F about that, everything is implemented faster but sloppy and can easily crumble under heavy load once you work on over the top maxed out stuff, blender is useless, and you'll appreciate Maya more and more.

[@ZsoltSulyok]
