Unwrella, the automatic and optimal unwrapping plug-in, is now available for Autodesk Maya.
Unwrella is a long awaited solution for all Autodesk Maya artists who have to deal with mapping and unwrapping of 3d geometries. Unwrella for Maya offers a fast and easy to undestand workflow to create automatically optimized UV maps, unfolds meshes for texture baking and packs UV parts efficiently.

All the elements involved in the render (materials, lights, cameras, ...) are based on physically accurate models up to the point that when you hit render a simulation of the real behavior of light happens inside.
Moreover, fryrender is the first engine of its kind capable of transforming scenes into a format that can be navigated in real-time with the aid of our Virtual Reality technology RC5.
Why choose fryrender? Besides its quality, stability, and speed, our engine comes packed with an outstanding list of useful features that really make the difference.
Moreover, fryrender's development moves really fast and we can assure you that the current status of the product is just the beginning.

StretchMesh is a new paradigm for surface deformation. By using a fast algorithm for relational vertex knowledge, smooth character deformations can be created quickly and with superior results over existing techniques. StretchMesh is implemented as a standard Maya deformer to work seamlessly with and enhance existing work flows.
StretchMesh (32 or 64 bit) is available for Autodesk Maya versions 2008, 2009 and 2010 on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS.

Joe Alter Shave and a Haircut is a plugin for Maya, that creates extra realistic hair and fur surfaces. With this, you can create furry animals, grasses, haircuts, mustaches and so on. And this is not only about extra rendering-realistic, but also extra dynamic-realistic hair/fur. Combining advantages from both Maya Fur and Maya Hair modules inside itself, JA S&H is a perfect decision for your production. It makes creating of haircuts much easier with much finer level of control and much less rendering time. S&H also MentalRay- and RenderMan-compatible, so you can create super-photorealistic renderings using with no additional compositing.

Shave and a Haircut 2 has made creating and rendering CG hair an absolute pleasure for us, both on past projects and our current show Hellboy . It's entire range of hair-based effects from scraggly beards to full length hair, come out looking beautiful with surprisingly minimal render times. Shave will remain an integral part of our digital double production pipeline for many projects to come.
