We’ll update the story if it becomes clearer what has changed in Maya 2023 itself.
There are also improvements to animation performance, although again, some – like support for Cached Playback in the Jiggle deformer – were added during the 2022.x updates. Some seem to be those added during the 2022.x release cycle: scaling controls for the Solidify deformer were added in Maya 2022.2 and mirror and retarget modes for the Morph deformer in Maya 2022.3. The release notes for Maya 2023 also list a number of updates to deformers. Update to deformers and improved animation performance The Component Tag system has itself been updated, with new features including the option to multi-select, duplicate and merge tags. Other changes include support for symmetry, density painting, and new options to control how different parts of a mesh are smoothed based on Component Tags. Modelling workflow improvements include new marking menus for extrusion and bevel operations and the Multi-Cut tool now displays percentage values for the position selected along an edge.įaster, more streamlined retopology workflowĬharacter artists get an update to Maya’s Retopologize tool, used to convert a mesh to even quads, in order to generate lightweight, more animation-friendly geometry from high-resolution sculpts.Ī new preprocessing system “eliminates the need for triangle remeshing prior to retopologising to quads”. Updates to existing 3D modelling tools include the option to use single or multiple creator nodes per curve in the Sweep Mesh tool, used to create 3D geometry by sweeping a profile curve along a guide curve. Users can pick from five display styles for input objects, and adjust the colour and opacity of their wireframes.Īnother useful-looking new feature is the option to use Smooth Mesh subdivided versions of objects as inputs for Boolean operations: something that can be toggled from the Boolean stack. In addition, a new Boolean stack provides a central location for editing Booleans, with input objects shown as layers to make complex assemblies easier to manage, and changes displayed in the viewport in real time.

The software also now supports a range of new Boolean operations, including Slice, Hole Punch, Cut Out and Split Edges, as well as the existing Difference and Union operations.
The release also overhauls Maya’s Boolean modelling tools, adding a new Boolean node, intended to enable users to “create and edit Boolean operations in fewer clicks”. More intuitive and versatile Boolean modelling workflow

The feature, which replaces the existing Grease Pencil tool, provides “more drawing tools for text and shapes”, plus a layer system for annotations.Īs well as shot review, the toolset is aimed at “pre-production animation blocking”, with users also able to retime or transform Blue Pencil annotations, as well as simply to move them on the timeline. New features in Maya 2023 include Blue Pencil, a new toolset for creating 2D annotations in the viewport. The Bifrost multiphysics plugin gets Bifrost USD, a new system for creating and editing USD assets using the Bifrost graph, opening up a range of new scene layout workflows.īlue Pencil: a revamped, more animation-friendly viewport annotation system The release introduces Blue Pencil, a revamped version of Maya’s viewport annotation toolset, and overhauls the software’s Boolean modelling and retopology systems. Autodesk has released Maya 2023, the latest version of its 3D modelling and animation software.
