Turtle is used to create high-quality baking. It is used to easily create global illumination for your next-generation game levels and then bake into texture maps, vertex maps, or point clouds and this plug-in is only available for Maya that is in the Entertainment Creation Suites.
For customers that are using the Enterprise T1 Multi-flex license, please note the following when installing it:
Maya Creation Suite 2013: Product Key 535E1 > Turtle will be licensed and will work.
Maya Creation Suite 2013: Product key 775E1 > Turtle will not work.
Maya Creation Suite 2012: Product key 535D1 > Turtle will not work.
Maya Creation Suite 2012: Product key 775D1 > Turtle will not work.
The product key is very important when installing the software because it controls the cascading of the licensing of the product.
NOTE: If you are using the Maya Entertain Creation Suite 2012, you will need to contact your GBS Premier Expert to generate a Turtle ONLY license in order to run Turtle.
