We are excited to announce the immediate availability of Ornatrix Maya V2: the latest incarnation of our cutting edge hair, fur, and feathers grooming and animation software. We've spent the last two years developing major new tools and polishing our existing artist-friendly workflow to bring you this much improved version. The beta program which ran for half a year helped us to further refine and iron out this release.
