Posted by: amigo
Source: Press Release
 Date: Fri Oct 31 2003
Toronto, Canada � October 31, 2003 � Alias Systems, a Silicon Graphics Inc. (NYSE: SGI) company, announced today that Maya� 5 users who desire extended functionality can now download the free Bonus Tools Booster Pack. Developed to enhance the Maya software, the Bonus Tools Booster pack contains more than 100 mini-features in the form of plug-ins, scripts and UI enhancements. It can be downloaded at www.alias.com/maya/bonustools.

This latest version of the Maya Bonus Tool set was developed by the extended Alias� product specialist team and provides new Trax commands, new UV tools, new tools for polygon history and new procedural textures. Once downloaded, the Bonus Tools Booster Pack will install a new menu pull down section within the Maya user interface so that all the Bonus Tools functionality is within easy reach.

The updates in the Bonus Tools Booster pack provide artists and programmers with improved Trax workflow with clip trimming and easier access to characters and weight curves; enhanced polygonal texture mapping, enabling the user to unfold and layout UVs for multiple objects into the same UV space without overlapping and warping images with different UV sets; enhanced polygonal modeling, with a function to copy tweaks between similar meshes; the ability to delete construction history while maintaining the skinning of the model; and a total of 10 procedural shaders.
The Alias Online Community
By visiting the Alias online community at www.alias.com/community and becoming a member, anyone can view the six demo movies which show how to use the most popular bonus tools to extend the Maya software�s functionality. The demo movies can be found at www.alias.com/maya/bonustools.
