Maya 2014: New Modelling Features

[Armada]

For those that haven't been keeping up with Autodesk's latest announcements, Maya 2014 is set to release on 12 April (presumably the free Student version will be available around that time).
One if its most interesting new features is a modelling toolset that can vastly improve the speed and efficiency of the workflow, by keeping tool switching to a minimum. This video explains the details:

Looks pretty useful, no?

Thanks for sharing. It´s long time ago Autodesk give Maya such a big update in workflow speedup. Maya is fast but this toolset will speedup the individual workspeed clearly!

The free Student version of Maya 2014 is now available (finally) via the Autodesk Education Community: http://students.autodesk.com/?nd=download
I've been trying out the new tools for a bit, and I've found them very useful so far!

NOTE: Maya 2014 only works on 64-bit versions of Windows 7 or 8.
