It's not just an icon change, the UI has been revisited to remove
visual noise and adapt to different font size and UI scaling. But more
critically, all the menus have been revisited to be organized more
logically. It's a new Maya, and there are deep unifications changes in
modeling workflows too. There is a single modeling and FX module, and
the organization is different in those too. Should make it easier for
anyone new to get into.
Btw, the bit about hitting H to hide objects like in XSI... Maya added
this in 2015 extension 1, along with MMB for repeating menus. Bifrost
has a compound editor similar to ICE, but we still need to work on it.

I hear you…And I am with you if you didnt catch it.
You’ve never heard about a company blending 2 softwares togheter
because there was no existing one that needed to do so. Ever!
Pretty normal. Of course! Newtek never had to blend 2 softwares
togheter per exemple. Nor does SideFx.
It’s not about blending 2 softwares togheter. Its about blending
workflows togheter. Its a bit different. I mean workflow things.
Wich I hope will come more and more. The best from Xsi inside of
Maya. When you hit H shortchut….it hide’s the object….if you hit H
again…it shows up the object back. Simple. Multiple selection
property changes for example… The list can go on and on.
They didnt changed it’s look… just the icons. A simple refresh at
the UI. I know!!!
I could write a bitching novel on Maya that would take me years to
write. But since my old email rant (wich you probably all
remember) on how much i was upset on the desmise of XSI and then
after our switch to Maya to test the waters, …. i can say that I
have find positives things in Maya. While I still miss so many
things from Xsi. Render passes in front of the line. But we got
a powerfull pre render script that encompass this. Thanks to Laurent.
Still Maya make’s us able to deliver our jobs. It’s not as funny
as before, of course.
it’s not the end of the world.

You point is still good Sven.
Of course Maya’s Gui is far from getting to the point Xsi is…
I profoundly think that Xsi got the best Gui in all softwares
that ever existed. The new aqua icons are not a revolution of
course. Still good to the eye to paint the old car with a
fresh clear coating. :-)
We’ve had Autodesk at our studio a couple of times and I must
admit they we’re very opened to listen to us softimage users.
And they we’re taking good notes. I think they are doing good
efforts to keep Xsi users happy in the transition while at the
same time not frustrate good old Maya users. It will take
time to blend the two.
About ICE. Maya is node based all around and I cannot imagine
AD to own these (ICE) pattents and not create the same
workflow inside of Maya. With new operops, and merging all of
it’s tools inside of a new unified workflow node UI. Of course
this will take time to make everything talk togheter. But to
me, it should be the priority for AD to implement this.
I barely see any other futur ventures that could bring back
Maya as the top contender in the 3D world. Houdini is pushing
hard. And it’s doing just that at it’s roots. So if they want
to compete in the long term, it really should be in the oven.
Well I hope so for them.
Does 2016 finally got the node based UI for Bitfrost? Would be
a good start. I was on beta but never got the time to play
with it.
We’ll see in a week or two. But so far nothing about this in
the videos.

I had a look at the vids and must say the whole GUI looks
as sturdy and antique like before. Besides this, if a
developer says something is the "biggest thing ever"…I'll
take it as a warning sign.

The node editor remembers the last graph when you reopen
it. Tabs allow you to remember multiple graphs.

What irkes me is the fact that you need to create tabs to

you to graph it... Its not really that important, but its
just shabby.
