Project Khan is our free technology preview where we partnered with Donya Labs AB to get your feedback on a new experimental plug-in for Maya that allows you to generate optimized versions of your 3D model assets on the Autodesk cloud. When we say asset optimization, we mean reducing: mesh complexity, texture complexity, and rig (bone) complexity. After installing the Maya plug-in (Windows only), you can configure optimization jobs and securely execute those jobs on the Autodesk cloud, and then immediately download the optimized assets right in the Maya scene. We are eager to hear your thoughts on this combination of desktop modeling with cloud processing augmentation.
The latest update has the following new features:
- Multiple Job management support
- Review previous jobs
- Resubmit
- Preview
- Download
- Remove job from the job list
- Name jobs
- Review previous jobs
- New look and feel
- Technology preview extended to March 31, 2014
You can download it now via Autodesk Labs on the Autodesk Feedback Community site:
Technology previews on Autodesk Labs are free. All we ask is that you give them a try and share your thoughts with us at [email protected] or in the forum on the Autodesk Feedback Community. Remember that trying something, liking it, and not telling us is the same as not trying it. A technology preview needs the affirmation to proceed to the next step. Your experience shapes the future of our technology.
Simplification is alive in the lab.
