Autodesk Maya 2013 Extension 中新增加的SceneAssembly 功能允许用户为某个目标物体添加不同版本的Representations(可以代表不同的细节层级如高、中、低模等），并可以在Representations之间自由切换。借助SceneAssembly和GPUCache功能，可以加快场景的组装，排布和预览等Workflow，尤其是针对复杂场景。另外，基于Maya强大开放的Scripts，还可以灵活定制和扩展SceneAssembly，使其满足实际生产的需求

The extension for Maya 2013 software help users’ complex data and creative ideas flow more smoothly through the sophisticated pipelines required to tackle today’s challenging productions.

The new Maya DX11Shader helps artists take advantage of the power of Microsoft DirectX 11 to create and edit high-quality assets and images in less time. Also, building on the Open Data platform, Alembic, and File Referencing, Scene Assembly tools provide users with a mechanism for representing production assets in Maya as discrete elements, each with complete support for multiple representations.

Features:

- Next-Gen Viewport Display and Shading*

Take advantage of Microsoft DirectX 11 technology with the new Maya DX11Shader. Offering you real-time, centralized, easy-to-control shader effects such as crack-free tessellation, vector displacement maps, translucence, reflections, and shadows, the DX11Shader is built with a new API (application programming interface) that exposes DirectX 11 natively in Maya with HLSL (High Level Shading Language) support.

- Scene Assembly Tools for Smarter Data

Creating large, complex worlds is now easier. Scene Assembly tools provide a mechanism for representing production assets in Maya as discrete elements. Each has complete support for multiple representations. You can easily swap between different representations—for example, various levels of detail—selecting the most appropriate balance between fidelity and performance for the task at hand.

*Only available on the Microsoft Windows 64bit operating system.
