Re: The Maya Chronicles - or how retarded that software is...

Ok I have to agree with you Andy, I also had many crashes with SI.. no dcc is 100% reliable, that is the nature of software. For me the big difference is: I knew where to expect a crash in softmage.. like “move operators up and down the stack=danger.. have a boolean going on? Danger times

Re: The Maya Chronicles - or how retarded that software is...

To be totally honest, that’s how I had to deal with Softimage/Arnold. I would sometimes only open a scene and have it crash for no reason. I could never say Softimage had been a robust experience. After moving to Houdini, it took almost two years to get rid of my fear to click the wrong thing

Re: The Maya Chronicles - or how retarded that software is...

Mirko and Fabricio are nailing it with Maya. Can't wait to get access to the blog and start posting. I still can't believe how on all of these years speedy service packs do nothing but unstabilize other libraries for render. This happened way back when SI2014 came out and a year later they eol.

Re: The Maya Chronicles - or how retarded that software is...

What I gathered about Maya so far is that every function in one way or another leads to a hotkey Alt+F4 (the fast option). Also, when it crashes, I noticed it is faster to kill the process then wait for all the notifiers to appear (your maya crashed window x 9000). A tip for you'all. Artur

Protip: have 2 maya sessions opened -> Begin working on one of them -> wait for the crash -> kill on task manager -> fire up another session -> continue work on already opened session while new one loads -> no wait 3 minutes for maya to start -> happyness (?) This is how I work in maya EVERYTIME.

Re: The Maya Chronicles - or how retarded that software is...

How do you know when someone is working with maya? He have his task manager opened non stop for killing the process when it becomes non responsive...again.. and again.. On Fri, Mar 30, 2018 at 1:09 PM, Laurence Dodd wrote: > Ive spent the last month or so lighting and

Re: The Maya Chronicles - or how retarded that software is...

Ive spent the last month or so lighting and rendering in Maya; I was thinking there would be something in there that made me go "oh yeah!, thats really good", but no not once. It felt I was fighting the software the whole time, fighting and waiting. It's just so slow to do anything, why click once

Re: The Maya Chronicles - or how retarded that software is...

- select, obj in the scene, move it, crash maya. repeat - try to got o time in timeline, wait a bit... crash.. repeat - press F, view port goes completely black. try on couple scenes and even blank scene with cube.. same thing. see online that there are others with same issue and you need ot
