Recently bought EmberGen because of this. So nice to see everything in real time, no weirdness with arnold rendering something completely different etc. Sure you can do these things in maya but its pain. Arnold is amazing for what it is, animation and modeling is really good. Basic stuff is great but thats about it. It feels like the potential is there to make it way better with updates. Things like sweep mesh and live boolean are nice but should be accompanied by more stuff.

[@arifnbd]

Why don't you do some updates about Xgen? Have you guys totally forgotten about that tool?

[@martbm6813]

It’s not their tool, it was developed by Disney a long time ago and Autodesk has integrated an old version of Xgen in maya (don’t know if they bought it or whatever) but they don’t update it as it’s not their tool, that’s why our Xgen doesn’t evolve. From what I heard, Disney continues to upgrade Xgen on their side and the version they have nowadays is far from what we know actually (if I am right they use different tools between Pixar and Disney). If you’re interested, there are some free plugin developed by some groomers like Jesus FC and more that can enhance your experience, or you can make your own tool/scripts with mel/python 🙃

[@user-kq2tz1td3y]

Please update the real-time renderer that everyone hopes for. It is similar to Unreal Viewport, as well as game engines and sculpting functions. UE is also implanting Maya functions. Failure to implant UE functions in Maya is a death sentence.

[@caden6305]

Completely unrealistic and unfair to the Autodesk team if you think they can keep up with UE features. Epic is raking in billions of dollars every year that is pumped right back into the funding of UE. Please watch one of the Epic Dev deep dives and you’ll see how they are basically pioneering the future of computer graphics in games.

[@Potatinized]

​@@caden6305 they had Stingray, but killed off the project. So not really unrealistic nor unfair to ask for it. If blender can do it, then why not Autodesk? We dont need them to catch up with UE, just so that we can roughly understand how it will look in game engine, is already fine. Their realtime shaders are terrible and inaccurate.

[@caden6305]

​@@Potatinized This is directly from the AutoDesk website on why they cancelled Stingray, "Artists are increasingly standardizing on other game engines for both games and VR/AR authoring. We continue to invest in building better, more interactive authoring tools for both games and design visualization, but will be pursuing stronger partnerships with third-party game engine developers rather than building our own engine." In other words, they realize if they were to build their own engine it would still end up being surpassed by other game engine developers. I know it's stupid to predict the future but with the direction Unreal is going in, I think in 5-10 years there will be little need for 3rd Party Apps in game dev. Everything will most likely be handled in engine.

[@caden6305]

@@Potatinized It is unrealistic though if they haven't already started working on it. Blender can do it because it is open source, Unreal also allows the community to contribute code, whereas Maya is closed source.

Your words are very funny Houdini software has had more than 115 updates from version 16 to version 18.5. Has this caused the stability of the pipeline in Houdini to be lost? Can Houdini users no longer work with new versions? Have these updates made Houdini lose its efficiency and power? َAlso your words are not logical at all. If the update is malicious, then it is better to work with Maya version 4 and leave other updates aside. It's your kind of thinking that made Maya never improve - no one is against stability in the production pipeline, this is an important thing that all users of professional projects care about. But what you don't understand is, increasing the speed in calculations, modifying old expressions and replacing them with better tools, optimization and... Maya has hundreds of serious problems that you seem unable to understand After 16 years, Bifrost has not entered the production pipeline 100% and is still undergoing testing After 11 years, Xgen still hasn't been updated, and its complex computational pipeline is one of the biggest production problems in animation. Procedural computing still has no place in Maya After 16 years, the Nucleus system is still based on CPU calculations, and for example, you have to wait hours for the cache to be completed to simulate hair and fur. Are you really unable to see these problems or are you trying not to understand?

@@wallacesousuke1433 The cost isn’t the issue for me. I think Maya is fantastic, and I continue to use it. What seems to be happening is everyone had retreated to their trenches. The original trail blazers have vanished or don’t seem to care. Maya is best for animation, Houdini is the best for VFX, Cinema 4D motion graphics, Zbrush sculpting. Etc etc In my opinion all this has happened because the creative industry has been desperately lacking in vision. Users have made it too easy for software companies to stop having vision. After Effects is a classic example. Anything you actually want to do is a 3rd party plugin or script. They’re all great, but some are such obvious concepts, it’s mind boggling to think why they are not part of the main software. For the seven million, four hundred and thirty three licenses we pay to various software companies, it would be great if they made some effort. Or am I alone in thinking this?

Maya is strong in character animation, it is not possible to make good character animation in houdini especialy face animation, til now... but other stuff to do, only in houdini ;)

It will be great if you guys create more AI tools actually, like creating models, rigs and even animating things automatically, based on sentences or images. And at the same time have them clean.

Where’s REAL modeling updates? Where’s sculpting updates? Where’s viewport updates? Where’s XGen updates? Where’s UV editing updates? Have you finally integrated Bonus Tools (which has nothing to do with Bonus in it so many years already) into the interface? Will Maya get some REAL UPDATES in the nearest future? Are AUTODESK aware of what is going on in other 3D packages at all? Because what they do to Maya last years is LUDICROUS! In real world it would be Maya 2018.12 and definitely NOT Maya 2025

[@themightypiestudio]

I’ve been using Maya since v4. It was magical at first, as I got older, it’s still brilliant though more as a reliable work tool for me now. But seriously, Autodesk, if you don’t start marketing this product better, and I don’t mean getting down with ‘the kids’. I mean, What is this mess of a video? What serious professional would buy this product from this video? Start talking to ‘the professionals’, and actually asking them what they need and maybe try to become the ground breaking but if software you once were. Maybe come up with an idea or two we can all play around with. The excuse of ‘all studio pipelines are Maya based’ will only last until ‘all studio and pipelines are Maya no longer based’ and believe me, that may be sooner than you think.

Actually nothing It's really funny All softwares develop rapidly and surprise their users with thousands of new updates Now Autodesk wants to publish a new version with three changes in extruding and Beveling All the updates were the same and nothing else🤦‍♂🤦‍♂🤦‍♂🤦🤦🤦🤦‍♂🤦‍♂🤦‍♂

[@smashedlegends]

Viewport needs no change at all. Theyre just fine tuning a very very good professional product used by the Industry. Just fine tuning.. like apple does with the Iphone. Thousands of "new updares" every week is disruptive for the professional industry. You want stability. Imagine working on a 300 million dollars movie and your main modeling and animaion program updates every week with thousands of updates. You don´t understand the professional industry.

[@rezashams3d]

@@smashedlegends Your words are very funny Houdini software has had more than 115 updates from version 16 to version 18.5. Has this caused the stability of the pipeline in Houdini to be lost? Can Houdini users no longer work with new versions? Have these updates made Houdini lose its efficiency and power? َAlso your words are not logical at all. If the update is malicious, then it is better to work with Maya version 4 and leave other updates aside. It's your kind of thinking that made Maya never improve - no one is against stability in the production pipeline, this is an important thing that all users of professional projects care about. But what you don't understand is, increasing the speed in calculations, modifying old expressions and replacing them with better tools, optimization and... Maya has hundreds of serious problems that you seem unable to understand After 16 years, Bifrost has not entered the production pipeline 100% and is still undergoing testing After 11 years, Xgen still hasn't been updated, and its complex computational pipeline is one of the biggest production problems in animation. Procedural computing still has no place in Maya After 16 years, the Nucleus system is still based on CPU calculations, and for example, you have to wait hours for the cache to be completed to simulate hair and fur. Are you really unable to see these problems or are you trying not to understand?

[@user-lo4wv2qq3y]

​@@smashedlegends"fine tuning", may be that's what autodesk wants to believe but it's very far from the truth that they've done very little. And the migration issue. First, if the program is not capable of running a old setup, most often times it's fault of the program unless the setup is like more than 10 years old. Secondly, studio is the one who decides migrate or not. If they really want some kind of fancy function that the new version provides(even tho there is none in here) they would rather make the function as their own plugin rather than migrating their entire pipeline to the newere version. It's a very poor excuse that this is the reason why Maya hasn't made any progress for past 10 years.

[@Skynetdi]

The Blender is better.

[@vladimirelmanpesa]

is this the girl you wish you hadn't started a conversation with at a party?

[@DanielGoDman]

Structurally as a 3D artist: 1. The modifier stack is useless, all it can do is turn it on, off and change places. Why is it needed if I cannot directly adjust the settings of these modifiers in it. 2. Smart Extrude, the idea is good, but the implementation is lame, there is not enough control over rotation and scaling, you can only move it. 3. Boolean Bevel did not live up to expectations, the bevel rests on points and cannot expand further by correcting these points, it still does not replace the slow-moving hardmesh plugin. Autodesk obviously doesn't keep up with what its competitors are doing. The blender annoys me, I don’t want to work in it, but I’m forced to, now I sit and study it, I hope I’ll get used to it, many of my colleagues have already adapted to the blender.

[@losimple]

Only what I see here in the chat is dozens of Maya haters and I bet that more than 90% of those people NEVER worked in a serious production. The only argument is: ¨blender is free¨. Is that serious? I´ve worked in many industries over the years and to me Maya is more than enough to do the job. Maya has proved over the years that keeps being a great piece of software along Houdini, that´s the reason why they both are standard. I hear for the 4 years things like ¨Blender is better, this is the year to learn Blender and bla bla bla¨ so why Blender is still behind Houdini, Maya, 3dsMax and even C4D?. I don´t have anything against Blender at all, but I´d prefer, if I were to change the software, to learn Houdini or even UE5 first than go directly to Blender. That combo will open a bunch of doors in the most of the industries for Cg artist. Why I should spend my time learning Blender if Maya can do the same thing? just because it´s free? Btw, the indie license of Maya is just 300 bucks, if it looks pretty expensive for those Maya haters so you guys need to switch to another industry then. Like pizza deliveries or drive uber or whatever. Good job Autodesk!

Blender is an awesome amateur program. No question about it. But if you want to work with the big ones, you have to choose Maya and Houdini. Sincerely Blender is a curiosity. But a waste of time.

[@ALGHOTTE]

Not for big projects, Blender at it's core is weak in every possible way. Half baked features won't be useful for big Studios, so it's mostly used by indie small ones.
