Hi,
I get really mad with maya 2017. There is a lot of serious issues, and since I bought it, I cannot use.
The UI is terrible slow. Even launching or closing app need a long time.
Never come back to the saved workspace correctly
The bevel tool doesn't provide correct values (put 1.0, get 1.141)
And now, trying Arnold, the physical sky is in Y up, even if I work in Z up...
The viewports can't work correctly with Maxwell shaders (none of them)
And , as some other people, I loose hours in a day because of this incredible crappy hyper shade...
Actually, every day I want try again, and every day I find a new problem.
Hi @pascal
I would love to try to help you with some of the issues you experience with Maya 2017.
First of all which version of 2017 do you use? Did you already upgrade to Update 2 ?
Can you show me the specific problems? Then I can try to reproduce them on my system.
Best, Nadja
Hello Nadja !
I will report another issue
but probably same UI issue , at least I have problems with UI
as you are representative of support team I will write here
using maya 2017 update 2
when open maya there is empty window sometimes (empty untitled tab)
when trying to close it maya freezes to infinite
I have to kill the task from task manager
only workaround on that is to change workspace (right top corner) several times until that strange tab disappears
and then you can continue work ...
are you aware of that bug ?
Hi @MaaaYaaa,
could you try to reset your preferences: Reset Maya to Default
Does the issue still occur after you followed the steps in the article?
Best, Nadja
Hi,
I work on mac pro 3 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon E5 - OS X 10.11.6 - 64 Go memory.
I downloaded the last update (2), and nothing changed.
About the bevel tool, you can try it... the result is not correct. If you want a bevel of 1, you get 1.414.
I noticed that when I launch the app, I have to wait around 30 seconds before doing anything.
If I do something before this time, I get empty windows (render setup by example)
It seems that the UI is really long to charge. that was not in maya 2014.
Idem when I quit. very long time to wait.
About the Y or Z up problem, just try it. set Z up in preferences, and create a arnold physical sky.
The sky is vertical...
But the worst is really this new hyper shade... I think people who made that has never work on maya in production.
Honestly, I loose hours in a day to try to get the same result than the 2014 one.
And I'm not alone.. reading the forum, I dont understand how you can sell a so terrible version of Maya...
I've deleted preferances file couple of times
of course deleting solves the issue
but it appears again in couple of days
Hi @pascal,
I can reproduce the issue you have on my system with the Arnold Skydome.
I will now forward this to our development team.
The workaround I would recommend for now is to rotate the skydome in the transform attributes.
Could you tell me which feature is missing or which improvement you would suggest for the hypershade?
I can forward your suggestions to our development team, so that your workflow can be improved.
Best, Nadja
well , I don't think so because
I have that issue even in empty viewport
well , if you're saying that thins is strange for you and never heard of it maybe its a problem only with my maya
maybe some installation issues ...
ok forget about it ... thanks for attention
