At Macworld Expo in San Francisco, Autodesk Senior Product Marketing Manager Rob Hoffmann demonstrated the workflow of the new Maya functionality to the DP editorial team using version 2008.
The muscle-and-skin system, recently purchased from Comet Digital, LLC, allows artists to generate lifelike skin movements. The toolset interacts with the Maya architecture and fits into the workflow. It can be used alone, together with other Maya features or modified by the user for their needs.
