According to Graziano Terenzi, CEO at Inglobe Technologies, “We have created the AR-media plugin for Maya with one goal in mind: to let people create high-quality AR content rapidly and without programming skills. It is clear then why the release of the new plugins not only marks an important milestone in the development of Inglobe’s AR-media platform, but it also marks another important step toward those who use these 3D modeling tools every day. I believe that the AR-media plugin features will impact positively on productivity/creativity of Maya users. Most of all I’m confident that thanks to the software many digital designers will approach the incredible world of Augmented Reality for the first time”.

 

The AR-media Plugin 2.2 is available for Maya 2009 up to 2013. Besides the Professional Lite and Professional Editions, a free Trial and a Personal Learning Edition (PLE) are also available from Inglobe’s website.
