In addition to the updates to Maya, Maya Composite and MotionBuilder, we have updates to FBX and Unreal has confirmed their support for FBX. I think this will really make it easier to work between Maya, MotionBuilder and Unreal :) As for FBX, you can read details here or follow down for the summary.
Engage in improved workflows between Autodesk® Maya® 2011 software and Autodesk® MotionBuilder® 2011 software with extended support for animation layers to match the updated toolset in MotionBuilder 2011; baked evaluation of layers is also supported. In addition, auto key behaviors are now unified and are preserved between Maya and MotionBuilder.
Create and manipulate FBX data using Python. FBX technology can now be integrated into pipelines without the requirement to write C++ code. Create and animate models in Maya, Autodesk® 3ds Max® 2011 software, or Autodesk® Softimage® 2011 software, export as FBX, and then import them into the Unreal Editor; supports static and animated meshes and skeletons. New File Format (v7) Save time, disk space, and memory with an improved version of the FBX file format that produces smaller files and offers improved read and write performance. Smooth Mesh Preview Enhanced support for the Smooth Mesh Preview modeling technique available in both Maya 2011 and 3ds Max 2011 means lighter models can be transferred to games, and, with a Microsoft® DirectX® 11 enabled graphics card, automatically rendered at the required level of detail. Instances New support for instances helps eliminate unnecessary duplication of identical structures within a scene graph, helping increase efficiency. FBX File Referencing Directly reference FBX files within Maya 2011 and 3ds Max 2011, without the need to first convert them to the application’s native format. Sun and Sky Environment Use FBX to seamlessly exchange Sun and Sky Environments between 3ds Max Design 2011 and Revit Architecture 2011. Levels of Detail (LOD) Levels of detail can now be written to and read from FBX files in both Maya 2011 and 3ds Max 2011. |
