Autodesk has announced the release of Maya 2023.1. New features include:
- Updates to the Boolean stack give modellers more control when adding and editing new input objects. Additionally, a new Interactive Update option has been exposed, providing a quick way to mitigate slow boolean performance while working with dense scenes.
- A new HumanIK character template called FullRigControlsConfig.xml has been added to the two existing rig templates. This new template provides a comprehensive list of all spine, neck, hand and foot joints, extra shoulder joints, as well as additional finger and toe bones.
- Maya’s USD plugin has been updated with important bug fixes, performance improvements and stability updates.
- A new FBX import option, Smoothing Groups, has been created to address problems where exported FBX polygon objects with smooth edge normals would reimport with incorrect normal information.
- A new Traversal Depth option has been added to the Node Editor Preferences to let you specify a depth value for moving through the graph. This is particularly helpful when working with complex structures like rigs.
