      • Built-in sculpting tools

        Brush-based sculpting tools let artists perform high-level sculpting on their models without having to export to a different tool.

      • LOD tools for game model efficiency

        Optimize content for mobile devices with polygon reduction, data cleanup, blind data tagging, and level-of-detail tools.

      • Physically based shader materials

        Use ShaderFX to create high-quality physically based shader materials within Maya LT.

      • Lighting and texture baking

        Simulate realistic game lighting. Use global illumination tools to bake lighting data into texture or vertex maps.

      • Modeling improvements

        Quad draw, multi-cut, bevel, and symmetry enhancements make modeling more efficient.

      3D animation and rigging
