Every year, 3D artists wait with bated breath to see if the latest update to Autodesk Maya will revolutionize their workflow—or break their plugins. When Autodesk released Maya 2019, they took a slightly different approach than previous years. Instead of stuffing the release with experimental features, they focused on two things artists crave most: Performance and Stability.

1. The "Under the Hood" Performance Boost

The headline feature of the 2019 line wasn't a button you could click, but rather the speed at which you could work. Maya 2019.1 builds heavily on the performance enhancements introduced in the base release.

  1. Improved Modeling Tools: The software offers a more intuitive and efficient modeling experience, with updated tools for polygon modeling, NURBS, and subdivision surface modeling.
  2. Enhanced Animation Tools: Maya 2019.1 provides a more streamlined animation workflow, with features like a revamped graph editor, improved keyframe animation, and enhanced character rigging tools.
  3. Advanced Rendering Capabilities: The software's rendering engine, Arnold, has been optimized for faster rendering and improved performance, allowing artists to achieve photorealistic results with ease.
  4. Increased Support for Third-Party Plugins: Maya 2019.1 offers better support for third-party plugins, enabling developers to create custom tools and integrations.
