Technology
preview: The upcoming version of the Maya® plugin will
include a new technology called Tru-Poly.
Tru-Poly will enable Turbo Graphix to more closely map the exterior
pixels of images containing transparency. The release of Tru-Poly will
unlock a variety of new features for Turbo Graphix. Hardware shadows and
image based modeling
are just two of the possible applications. Below is a sample image
from research
and development that shows the four basic steps in clockwise order:
Image Loading, Exterior Analysis, Point Reduction, and Polygon Creation.

New update released! Grab the latest version r.59 on our download page. This is the update artists and animators have been waiting for! Finally a true workflow from Maya® to Photoshop® has been established for more than just texturing! Turbo Graphix now has the capability to create transforms in Maya called "Photoshop® DAG Objects". These objects are essentially 3D representations of *.PSD files in Maya®. Not only can you update/edit these objects to match the contents of your Photoshop® Documents, you can also modify each layer independently to perform complex animations! Read the Turbo Graphix User Guide on the support page to learn more.

It is by far the best version of Turbo Graphix yet!
