Alienbrain Studio 7 plug-in for Maya 6 now available

Avid Technology has announced the availability of an upgraded plug-in that provides smooth integration between the company's award-winning digital asset management software, Alienbrain Studio 7, and Alias' 3D animation solution, Maya 6.
The integration enables content creators to access Alienbrain Studio's asset management features directly from the Maya 6 software user interface and manage their artwork with greater efficiency.
"The massive volume of graphical content being created today for game and film projects demands that studio pipelines have an efficient way to track and store their 3D and related assets," said Bob Bennett, general manager of product management at Alias. "Over the years, Alienbrain has provided our users across industries with a secure back end from which they can access, and onto which they can store, their scenes, models, and associated textures. The upgraded Alienbrain integration for Maya 6 will ensure a secure means of managing Maya artists' digital assets."
Using the Alienbrain plug-in for Maya 6, customers can work in the secure, version-controlled environment of Alienbrain Studio 7 without leaving the familiar Maya interface. An integrated Alienbrain menu enables artists to easily navigate projects and files stored on Alienbrain servers, check the workflow status of their artwork, and drag and drop models and textures into their workspaces. The upgraded Alienbrain Studio 7 Reference Manager provides an instant overview of scenes and related files in both the Maya 6 and Alienbrain Studio 7 client applications. This substantially simplifies the tracking and accessing of dependent files, such as models and their related textures.
"Alienbrain and Maya have a long history together," said Gregor vom Scheidt, managing director at Avid with responsibility for the Alienbrain product line. "Our ongoing integration efforts reinforce Avid's commitment to provide Maya users worldwide with award-winning asset management tools that make it easier to create and manage digital content."
