ADSK: New Autodesk Maya 8.5 3D Software Supports Intel-based Macintosh Computers

Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today launched Autodesk Maya 8.5 (announced separately), the latest version of its Maya 3D modeling, rendering and animation software. Now shipping, Maya 8.5 is available for Intel-based Macintosh computers. The software enables faster completion of complex animation and simulation tasks, giving artists enhanced creative control on multiple platforms.


"Our goal is to give digital artists choice and flexibility in their 3D tools and platforms," said Marc Petit, Autodesk's Media & Entertainment vice president. "Autodesk Maya 8.5 is our first Universal application of Maya. This multi-threaded software leverages the latest multi-core workstations from Apple. Maya 8.5 equips digital artists with innovative new technologies such as Maya Nucleus, a unified simulation framework, as well as greater productivity." Universal applications are designed for Intel- and PowerPC-based Mac computers, efficiently running on both architectures.

"Mac OS X is an outstanding 3D graphics platform, with legendary power and stability," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. "The combination of our blazing fast Intel-based Macs and new Maya 8.5 functionality, such as Maya Nucleus and Maya nCloth, makes it easier than ever for digital artists to realize their most creative ideas."
