Autodesk Maya Unlimited 2009 + Tutorials

Autodesk® Maya® Unlimited software, the ultimate version of Maya, is the choice of 3D artists and animators who are looking to make their projects stand out. Maya Unlimited includes all the functionality found in Autodesk Maya Complete and provides professional artists and animators with additional industry-leading innovations, such as Maya Fluid Effects, Maya nCloth, Maya nParticles, Maya Hair, Maya Fur, and Maya Live.

Autodesk Maya Unlimited contains everything in Autodesk Maya Complete, plus the following:

Maya Fluid Effects
Simulate and render a huge variety of atmospheric, pyrotechnic, viscous liquid, and open ocean effects. Maya Fluid Effects overcomes one of the greatest barriers in computer animation.

Maya Fur
Easily create realistic fur, short hair, wool and grass on NURBS, subdivision surfaces, or polygonal models. Incredibly realistic styling and rendering of short hair and fur, with Maya Artisan Brush Interface for painting fur attributes.

Maya nCloth
Efficiently direct and control cloth and other material simulations. Maya nCloth objects can be as stiff, viscous, or flowing, and as tightly or loosely woven as you desire. Bend, stretch, shear, dent, or even tear your Maya nCloth fabrics with ease. Create deformable plastic and metal simulations, inflatable objects, as well as rigid-body and fluidic-type effects.

Maya nParticles
Quickly simulate a wide range of complex effects, including liquids, clouds, smoke, spray, and dust. Maya nParticles features particle-to-particle collisions, particle and nCloth bidirectional interaction, powerful constraints, cloud and “blobby” hardware display, preset rendering, and dynamic behaviors.

Maya Live
Combine 2D live-action with 3D elements. Maya Live provides greater flexibility, a fast-integrated 2D Tracker, and an interactive Root Frame Solver. Maya Live also allows you to reconstruct live-action elements as 3D geometry as well as output to external applications.

Maya Hair
Create, style, and render fully dynamic long hair on NURBS or polygon objects. Make any NURBS curve dynamic for use in advanced character rigging and effects. Maya Hair can also be used to create a wide range of other, nonhair effects.

Our Very Fluid Fellows
Principal scientists Duncan Brinsmead and Jos Stam are the masterminds behind the industry-leading innovations in Maya Unlimited.
