Unity’s acquisition enabled the firm to adopt Ziva’s powerful character creation suite for augmented, virtual, and mixed reality (AR/VR/MR) immersive experiences. The updates follow developments in February, when Unity Technologies bought Ziva Dynamics for an undisclosed sum. The news comes after Maya updated its platform in December last year to include Maya Cached Playback, enabling users to easily preview animated RT3D assets. Additionally, Ziva is altering the stability and performance for creating fully animated digital humans as part of VFX 2.0. Ziva is also introducing Cache Tet Mesh, which saves built tetmeshes directly to an animation node to speed up production pipelines thanks to smaller RT3D file sizes. The Vancouver-based firm has added a separate solver feature, solverToleranceFactor, which gives users more control when customising joint-based animation nodes in Maya 2022.

Ziva updated the solver to enhance the results of the platform’s calculations. Iterative Solver from Ziva is an experimental alternative to Maya’s default direct solver tool for calculating maths for joint-based animation. With Ziva’s VFX 2.0 plugin for Maya 2022, the firm has incorporated accurate soft tissue simulation, an Iterative Solver toolkit, playback features, new meshes, and attributes, among others.

Major movie studios like MGM Pictures currently employ Maya 2022 to create highly-detailed VFX heavy films. Maya 2022 is an RT3D amination suite from Autodesk that helps artists create and collaborate efficiently, with a hub of tools made for designing accurately animated characters.Īdditionally, the design suite includes tools to accelerate workflows and efficiently scale complex projects. This Monday, Ziva Dynamics announced a new real time-3D (RT3D) VFX plugin for Maya 2022 to simulate and animate soft tissue on virtual characters.
