The SPECapc for Maya 2023 benchmark consists of 47 tests using eleven different models and animations. It includes eight different graphics tests in various modes and five different CPU tests. The graphics-oriented tests use six different Maya view settings -- Shaded, Shaded SSAO, wireframe on shading, wireframe on shaded SSAO, textured, and textured SSAO. Various tests measure both animation and 3D model rotation performance. Five CPU tests within the benchmark perform CPU ray tracing and evaluation caching in various modes.

The benchmark features the following 11 models, with the largest containing 7.8 million triangles:

• Sol and Solette animation. 1.8M triangles, 1.25GB of texture
• Apollo 11 – well textured, modeled character
• Sven – 10 copies of a character model, rigged for animation
• Tiger – 1.3 GB realistically rendered tiger model, with hair
• Space crash – A Bifrost simulation of a spaceship crashing into water
• Jungle Escape – Action animation scene featuring the Sven character
• Room ray trace – a ray traced room (using CPU raytracing)
• Sol ray trace – Sol, ray traced (using CPU raytracing)
• Wood scene ray trace – a ray traced tree (using CPU raytracing)
• Wall of Death model – measures evaluation cache performance

“Workstation hardware performance is at unprecedented levels right now,” said Trey Morton, SPEC Application Performance Characterization Committee Chair. “We look forward to customers using the SPECapc for Maya 2023 benchmark to find the right configuration for their needs.”
