MAYA Brings Many Opportunities for Improvement as it Significantly Streamlines Work Processes and Shortens Development Times

MAYA Brings Many Opportunities for Improvement as it Significantly Streamlines Work Processes and Shortens Development Times

Customer challenge

"We develop systems for several areas," describes Liat Arnheim, product manager at 4Cast and specifies: "We have 4Skills which provides managers and organizations insights and recommendations about employees' skills, competencies, performance, and engagement. 4Emergemcy, which is designed to address HLS needs, and 4Sim for constructive simulation." "Every year, 4Cast develops and manufactures a large number of products, many of which integrate 3D models," says Liat and continues "In the training world, for instance, we deal a lot with 3D modeling; hence, it was imperative to find software that will allow us to create different models in high resolution."

Project goals

The 4Cast solutions' array serves a wide range of clients in the institutional, governmental and business markets. It includes training and competency systems that 4Cast have developed for the IDF, technologies that 4Cast previously developed for the defense market and applies today in the civilian market and civilian organizations with defense orientation such as HLS, and in the business market including high-tech, health and energy organizations. "Our international and local customers trust us to provide them with quality solutions on an ongoing basis and develop the systems they need at the highest possible quality standard while meeting schedules and budget." - Liat Arnheim, product manager at 4Cast

Solution

"At 4Cast we are working with Maya and Arnold among other software," Andrei indicates and adds "I'm using Maya for developing models from start to end and for creating simulations of objects and other subjects in most cases, and usually I manage to find within Maya the tools I need and that enables me to meet the projects' requirements." "Personally, I prefer Maya over software like Cinema 4D," Andrei continues "mainly because Maya is very user friendly, it has powerful simulation engines and has a kind of Open-Source tool, it includes several programming languages like MEL (Maya embedded language) and Python, hence provides users with many plug-ins that have already been created by others and eliminates the need to build things from scratch and look for external tools." From the technical aspect, the essential difference between Maya and other software like Cinema 4D is that Maya is a more powerful platform that suits working with heavy projects.

Business outcome

"Level of performance is one of the crucial criteria for measuring the success of every project and is the main aspect we measure," Andrei shares and explains "In that context, one of the most important advantages among the many advantages of Maya is the ability to handle the model and change it quickly and freely whenever you wish. This is while other software requires to operate several functions, open the polygons option, define the task beforehand and only then allows to make the required changes in the model." "Although it's usually a matter of a few minutes, when you have to go through such a process every time again and again whenever changes need to be made in a certain model, these 'few minutes' accumulate into a few hours and eventually it's cumbersome work and consumes precious time."

Conclusion

All the aspects mentioned above give Autodesk Maya a significant advantage compared to the alternatives and it can certainly be said that working with Maya turns complex processes simple. Maya also allows you to work with real indexes and materials and it is of great help that you can, for example, incorporate an index of water in the simulation without having to create it from scratch and without doing too many tests to make the simulation look real. "After all, the best professionals in the global production industry are using Maya," indicates Andrei and concludes "we hope that Autodesk will continue to improve Maya more often in the aspects that still need to be improved. This will clearly avoid the need to search tools outside and allow professionals to better face the challenges we are experiencing in the production and design worlds."

"We found that Autodesk's MAYA, FLAME and 3D MAX help us achieve our goals, friendly, suitable to our work environment and to coping with the challenges we are facing."

"By our very definition as a high-end creative studio, we strictly make sure to work with the best solutions that can address our requirements to the highest possible level." says Yoav Savaryego, Head of 3D and Compositing at Gravity and add "hence Autodesk MAYA and Autodesk FLAME are the software tools we have been working with since the beginning of our journey."

"We are working with Autodesk solutions and TeamCAD services for years and we never replace a winning horse"

With our joining to BD, the quality and regulatory requirements increased," notes Felix Bar, a manufacturing engineer at the company, adding: "We were required to maintain and improve many old Legacy products, which were still under our responsibility and we needed to collaborate with teams around the world in various aspects of design, quality and validation. Additionally, until we joined BD, we managed only the drawings in the PLM, while all of our 3D files were stored on the net and everyone had permission to write on those files. In light of the organizational changes, our colleagues overseas needed to access our local 3D files as well which was not possible before using the Autodesk Vault."
