Quote - I just got Maya 2015 (Educational) and I'm blown away by the speed and image quality of the viewport. I imported a fully textured/rigged (lost the morphs) Genesis2F figure and the speed and quality of the viewport is outstanding. You even very realistic realtime shadows (AO) and specular highlights - including the eyes!! Just like in the video - the quality of the viewport display is better than many (most?) renders in the galley here. Thanks for posting. I wonder how much that model/rig would cost?

I looked into it just briefly.  I don't use Maya, but I do have 3dsmax, and the rig system is supposedly available for BOTH packages.  However, it's not available yet on SnapperS Systems' website.  It will be a plugin rigging system for Maya or 3dsmax, when it does become available.  3dsmax also has DX11 shader support through the Nitrous viewport, so it should look and behave just like in the Maya video, or better, but that last shot in the video was fully rendered.  Probably in MentalRay or Vray.
