NEW FEATURES --
Interface Changes

Maya 2016 has gone over to the dark side. The main background interface color is now a dark gray. There have been studies that most CG users work in low-light environments and that darker colors cause less eye strain when burning the midnight oil. I personally feel it is more of a user preference and I like the lighter colors. The good news is that you can easily switch color schemes if you want.

There have been lots of subtle changes to the Maya interface in this release and I found myself hunting for commands at times. There is a helpful Find Menu option in the Help menu that will help you locate any commands you can't find. The most annoying change was that the menu set hotkeys changed, but you can switch them back if you want.

The Shelf interface also changed quite a bit with the Curves shelf rolled into the Surfaces shelf and the new Rigging, Sculpting and FX shelves. Several other shelves including PaintEffects, Toon, Muscle, Hair and Fur are hidden by default. All the Shelf icons have also changed. This change made it easier to scale the interface for different displays and resolutions including support for touch screens, but as an experience user, I find it frustrating to have to learn the new icons. These icons are also used in the main menus and in the marking menus. To help in learning the new icons, the development team has color coded them based on function, so all the polygon oriented commands are orange and the surface and curve commands are blue.

The Hotkey Editor also changed, but this is a great change. It includes a keyboard visual and shows automatically which keys are used when the Shift, Ctrl, Alt or Command key are pressed. This lets you quickly see which hotkeys are still available to be assigned. There is also a search command for finding specific commands.

Another nice new addition is that the Text tool can now use all OpenType, TrueType and Postscript fonts that are available on the system.

Improving Animation Playback

Within the Animation section of the Preferences dialog box are two new evaluation modes that you can enable. The Parallel evaluation mode increases overall animation playback by using all the cores in parallel. The Serial evaluation mode uses only a single core for playback. There is also a GPU Override option lets you take advantage of any GPU processors on your installed graphics card.
