Decompose Matrix Missing in Maya 2020.4

Decompose Matrix does not appear to be an option in Maya 2020.4. Was it replaced by something else? I've turned on all of the plug ins in Maya and still nothing.

 

The Matrix nodes only contain InverseMatrix and TransposeMatrix, nothing else.

 

I cannot find anyone online discussing this though and I'm not alone in the group I am working with seeing that this is missing.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

It seems that the decomposeMatrix node is not inside matrixNodes.mll anymore inside newer versions of Maya but only InverseMatrix and TransposeMatrix are contained in the plug-in. However "decomposeMatrix" should be a built-in node that is accessible by default without the need of a plug-in. Tested in Maya 2020.4 on Windows.

 

To test with MEL:

createNode "decomposeMatrix";

 

To test in the Node Editor:
- Open Node Editor

- Press tab for the node creation search popup

- Type "decomposeMatrix"*

- Press enter

 

To see the other available "matrix" options just type "matrix" and valid nodes with matrix in their name will be listed.
