Maya 2022 Auto-tangents issue

[greg.grimes]

Hi I'm having trouble with auto tangents with Maya 2022 & 2020. They seem to be broken? The first picture is what's happening to me and the second picture is a screenshot of my professors screen showing what should be happening. This is happening in both versions of Maya. I've deleted my preferences folder, the Maya environment folder, and reset my preferences in Maya and am still experiencing this issue.

Hi,

I'm thinking this is a graphics card/driver issue so you should check your graphics card/driver against the certified one for your Maya version.

Another thing to try is changing your Preferences > Display > Viewport 2.0 Rendering Engine to DirectX 11 as that can sometimes work better with uncertified cards/drivers.

So I followed your advice and changed my render engine to DirectX 11, I
also updated my graphics driver using DriverMax and I'm still having the
same problem. All I've done is put a sphere into the scene, brought the Y
value to 10 and chose option "key selected", then brought the frame to 15
and keyed it at Y value 0. I just don't understand why this is happening
even in a completely new scene?

Does the animation play back correctly? Trying to figure out if it is just a drawing issue...

Hi @greg.grimes,

Thanks for your feedback.

We have a similar issue logged as MAYA-111642 - Graph Editor : Splines representation is broken on Intel HD Graphics 4000.

Can you try setting the tangents to Linear? Does the drawing between the 2 keys looks better with Linear tangents?

Can you tell us what is your graphic card and driver version?

Regards,

Marie-Jeanne

Hi,

There is a Graph Editor drawing issue related to integrated Intel GPUs logged. Does your computer have an integrated (or discrete) GPU. If it has a discrete GPU is it being used by Maya?

So the first solution worked! I just had to update my graphic drivers on this computer and let it update and then it started functioning correctly! Thanks for all the replies and help 😉
