Last, Maya have a Artisan tool since long. Just hoping there won't be any name conflicts with Autodesk...

hmmm....that's interesting. Did not know that....

It's called 'Maya Artisan', this is just 'Artisan', I see no conflict.

There's no uv mapping features. There's a paint brush tool that acts much the same as PS though without feathering.

u mean it allows to paint textures directly onto the surface?

does this work only of SDS'ed surfaces? or will it work on any surface made with SU? say for example a sphere or cylinder??????

It does work with any SU surface including a sphere or cylinder. However, I don't want to deceive you, it only does planar projection mapping. But...it still can be a huge timesaver for texturing curved surfaces.

Planar projection in what direction? View or surface normal? Or other? Its a little hard to see in Solo's gif above.

i have not used SDS before, but i am very much looking forward to this one. i think it will help in creating some great Gehry-like roofs. can't wait for the end of the month!

If it's surface normal how does it blend the texture between faces?
If there is no blend I can't see how it would work even with a tiled texture.

I own SDS, Bool Tools, and Profile Builder from you -- all great tools (although I use the solid tools in 8 instead of Bool Tools now). I will most certainly be buying this as soon as you make it available to upgrade

Love the paint brush and sculpting features in particular.

Best,
Jason.
