You can find a full list of USD limitations here. There are also still restrictions to USD stage creation, layer handling and support for Hydra render delegates. The implementation provides вЂњrobust referencing functionality, nondestructive data editing workflows, and support for complex variants on top of USDвЂќ, although support for cameras and lights is still вЂњvery limitedвЂќ. The main change in Maya 2022 is that the plugin has now advanced far enough for compiled binaries to be bundled with the software, rather than users having to build it from the GitHub repo.ДЄutodesk describes it as enabling artists to вЂњload multiple gigabytes of data within secondsвЂќ, edit the assets using MayaвЂ™s native tools, the export the results in USD format again. USD support has been available to Maya users since 2019 via Maya USD, an open-source plugin developed jointly by Autodesk, Pixar and VFX houses Animal Logic, Blue Sky Studios and Luma Pictures.

The headline change in Maya 2022 is вЂњfull integrationвЂќ of the Pixar-developed Universal Scene Description (USD) system, now widely adopted in visual effects and feature animation pipelines. Pipeline integration: new USD plugin, support for Python 3 and OCIO 2 That brings Maya back into line with 3ds Max, which is numbered one year ahead of the actual calendar year.Д«oth apps get updated at the same rate вЂ“ one new release roughly every three months вЂ“ so there are no вЂmissingвЂ™ Maya updates, despite the break in numbering in the Maya public product timeline. If youвЂ™re wondering about the version number, with the release, Autodesk has skipped straight from last DecemberвЂ™s Maya 2020.4 to Maya 2022, leapfrogging Maya 2021 entirely. Maya 2022 already? What happened to Maya 2021?

Maya 2022 was released as part of a wider series of updates to AutodeskвЂ™s Media and Entertainment software, alongside 3ds Max 2022 and MotionBuilder 2022.ДЄt the time of writing, there seems to have been no update to Maya LT, the old cut-down edition of the software for game artists, which always used to be updated in parallel with Maya itself. There are also new features throughout MayaвЂ™s toolset, including a Sweep Mesh system, new procedural rigging tools, a GPU-accelerated Morph deformer, and a new Ghosting Editor for animation.ДЄutodesk has also released Create VR, a separate concept design app for roughing out 3D forms in virtual reality, then exporting the results to Maya or other DCC software. Autodesk has released Maya 2022, a major update to its 3D modelling and animation software, introducing вЂњfull USD integrationвЂќ and adding support for key pipeline technologies like Python 3 and OCIO 2.
