Following its unveiling at SIGGRAPH a couple of weeks ago, Alias Maya 7 3D modeling and animation software is now shipping worldwide. This latest edition of the award-winning package is available for new and upgrading customers from an authorized reseller or online at www.alias.com.
"Maya 7s features were extremely well received at our SIGGRAPH launch earlier this month in Los Angeles," says Shai Hinitz, senior product manager for Alias MotionBuilder, mental ray and Maya. "The new features in Maya 7 that sit atop a solid foundation delivered in Maya 6.5 provide the creative power and reliability Maya represents to so many customers."
Maya 7 features Alias MotionBuilder full-body IK technology to allow users to animate characters faster, easier and more accurately. The software also delivers new polygonal modeling and UV tools, and gives artists illustration and specialized visual effects tools. These include a new toon shader, advanced render layering technology and faster, more seamless connections between Maya and other production software applications.
Maya Complete 7 retails for $1999, while Maya Unlimited 7 lists for $6999. Upgrade pricing from Maya 6.5 is $899 for Maya Complete and $1249 for Maya Unlimited. Both Maya Complete and Maya Unlimited are available for the Windows, Linux and Mac OS X platforms.
