A growing list of AI-powered features are available in Maya to make content creation faster, while keeping artists in control.
MotionMaker: Generate character motion from just a few keyframes or a motion path, significantly speeding up animation workflows. Human, canine, and now horse motion styles are available.
ML Deformer: Approximate complex character deformation in a way that is fast and interactive.
Generative textures: Plug in third-party solutions to generate textures in LookdevX.
Autodesk Assistant (Tech Preview): Use natural language through an AI interface to find information and move work forward faster.
Some Autodesk AI features do not use machine learning and so do not require data for training of the underlying models. When an AI feature does require data for training, Autodesk uses different data sources depending on the feature. You can learn more about whether an Autodesk AI feature relies on machine learning and what data sources are used for training on the feature’s AI transparency card, located within the Trusted AI section of Autodesk's Trust Center. Note: Additional transparency cards are coming soon.
