“With Cached Playback, animators can iterate more, and they totally love that.” “The more you can make the technology behave and get out of the artists’ way, the more they can keep their thought process fluid,” commented Christopher Moore, Technical Program Manager, Blue Sky Studios. “Cached Playback is going to reduce the need for playblasts by animators, and Arnold updates take the guesswork out of the equation, by making viewport previews closer to the final Arnold render.” “The new features in Maya 2019 give artists a more responsive working environment so they feel more creatively engaged and can iterate faster to produce better quality,” said Chris Vienneau, Senior Director, Media & Entertainment Products, Autodesk.

Maya 2019 addresses the key challenges artists face throughout production, providing faster animation playback to reduce the need for playblasts, higher quality 3D previews with Autodesk Arnold updates in viewport 2.0, improved pipeline integration with more flexible development environment support, and performance improvements that most Maya artists will notice in their daily work.
