Maya's MotionMaker gains a Bring Your Own Data feature for training custom motion models. 3ds Max introduces editable 3D Gaussian Splats with native Arnold rendering. Flow Production Tracking adds synchronized collaborative review sessions.","whyItMatters":"Autodesk is pushing AI-assisted tools that remain artist-directable, letting teams train motion models on their own data and edit captured 3D scenes inside standard production pipelines.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eAutodesk used SIGGRAPH 2026 to roll out updates aimed at cutting repetitive work in animation and VFX pipelines. The headline addition is Bring Your Own Data for Maya\u0026#39;s MotionMaker, which lets teams train custom generative motion models from their own rigs, stylized motion capture, or hand-keyed keyframe animation. Once trained, the model generates base motions that artists refine in familiar Maya tools like the Graph Editor, Time Editor, and Dope Sheet.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3ds Max now treats 3D Gaussian Splats as fully editable data rather than display-only captures. A new point object system lets each point hold position, orientation, scale, color, custom attributes, and instanced geometry, and Arnold renders the splats natively with control over lighting, shading, and color. Flow Production Tracking adds synchronized review sessions for real-time collaboration across distributed teams.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Autodesk's SIGGRAPH 2026 update makes 3ds Max the first mainstream DCC to edit 3D Gaussian Splats natively, a workflow that's been confined to research tools.","twitterPost":"Autodesk's 3ds Max now edits 3D Gaussian Splats natively, pulling a research workflow into a mainstream DCC.","threadsPost":"Autodesk's SIGGRAPH 2026 update focuses on workflow integration. The 3ds Max 3D Gaussian Splat editing with native Arnold rendering is notable because it moves a technique from research software to a production tool.","newsletterBlurb":"Autodesk announced new tools at SIGGRAPH 2026.
