And then there is the painstaking task of getting the various animated objects and characters to interact properly. But the introduction of Maya Nucleus unified simulation framework takes the first step in easing many of these challenges – and possibly opening the door for a new modeling techniques down the road – by taking a new approach with the animation solver.(The First Fruit from Autodesk’s Acquisition of Maya)
