What is GPUBuiltinDeformer.mil?

[Anonymous]

Could someone explain (or provide a link for) what the GPUBuiltinDeformer.mil plugin does?

Hi @Anonymous,

The behaves similarly to the deformerEvaluator.mll. You can find a longer list of Maya plugins at 

List of plug-ins included with Maya | Maya 2016 | Autodesk Knowledge Network

May I ask why you were wondering about this one in particular? That might help me to better guide you to a more useful answer!

Hi alec.andersen,

Thanks for replying. I checked the list of plugins you provided. GPUBuiltInDeformer.mll is listed but there doesn't appear to be a description unless I am missing something. 

I'm curious as to what it does because I am trying to reduce the number of plugins that I have active at any one time to reduce load times in the program. I couldn't find any info anywhere else regarding what GPUBuiltInDeformer.mll does and whether or not I can disable it. Currently, I'm unwrapping UV's.

I don't know what deformerEvaluator.mill does but I'll look it up in Maya's list of plug-ins.
