Seasoned gaming studios like ours love Maya for its features and flexibility. This is also a stage where you should not rush in order to get a perfect mesh flow. I used a Blinn Shader on the asset to spot any issues with the mesh. A high poly mesh model of the gun came into being. Hence, it was my tool of choice.

The beta snapshots cadence allows us to better measure the overall stability and quickly catch regressions, especially when a lot of features are worked on at the same time. Those typically shouldn’t add instability to the engine, but may require doing some changes in your scripts, scenes, and shaders if you were using the affected APIs.
