Join Autodesk Technical Specialist, Steven Roselle as he discusses the Maya Open Data initiative and demonstrates a variety of Scene Assembly workflows.
The Maya Open Data initiative is about providing tools, functionality and workflows that facilitate the management of complex scenes, parallel pipelines and custom data.  As part of this initiative, Scene Assembly was designed and implemented in Maya 2013 Extension Release, and expanded in May 2014.   Scene Assembly is a new scalable referencing system for Maya 2014. Steven will demonstrate how Scene Assembly makes managing and manipulating complex scenes more intuitive and efficient.
