3D World vient de publier un test de 6 pages sur Maya 2012, qui revient en profondeur sur les nouveautés. Le bilan fait notamment étant du manque d’intégration de Mental Ray, et de la différence PC/Mac :
PROS
• Interoperability with Softimage, MotionBuilder and Mudbox
• Viewport 2.0 has far more features
• Streamlined HumanIK has great retargeting tools
CONS
• Limited versions of third-party plug-ins
• mental ray integration has not improved
• Mac version still not as robust as Windows
Maya 2012 is a useful update if you are a studio or individual user with multiple Autodesk products.
But the much maligned mental ray integration is now falling further behind Max and Softimage.
