the graph editor ( new & classic) shows the current time.  It would be amazingly helpful, if when the object or animation node you have selected , is connected to a set Driven Key, rather than time, that the time line in the GE showed the driver's value.    even if it's a setting or a button to turn it on and off, that would be super helpful.     or perhaps a quick setting change to show/hide the time line marker and a quick setting change to show/hide the SDK driver marker.              Show More

Some Render Setup concepts/features may not be immediately obvious to new users. It would be great to have more videos illustrating them. Show More

(Copied from original User Voice forum)   "..if there are many curves like hair output curves. Selecting CVs of the same curves is fast, so this should be easily fixable by just using the same code (If you have the cvs, you have the curve too)" Show More

(Copied from original User Voice forum)   "As an animator I was really excited when I first discovered the Stepped Preview function in Maya - it's basically one single button to toggle in-betweens on an animation, and it's non-destructive on already modified animation curves! I instantly bound it to a hotkey and decided to try it out in my animation workflow, hoping to replace the slightly involved process of setting default out tangents to stepped, converting all curves to stepped, and then back again when finished blocking. It was great! I would switch to stepped preview when I began blocking, then with the tap of a hotkey I could quickly preview what my animation looked like with in-betweens on, and even adjust curves ahead of time. But then I discovered that Stepped Preview also affects the animation curves for Set Driven Keys, which breaks features in a lot of rigs. So this is preventing me from completely adopting this feature into my workflow. Please add an option (preferably ticked by default) to prevent Stepped Preview from affecting Set Driven Keys!"

Having the default setting of Undo to be Infinite instead of 50 would be ideal. If memory is an issue, then a number around 200 would be more agreeable.    A new user who is learning Maya uses Undo very frequently, usually going down work flows that the user discards to return to a previous state. Not being able to because of a lack of knowledge of the default Undo setting can cause frustration and rework.   Show More

A feature in the graph editor to remove jitter/shake/noise from a curve. This would be distinctly different to 'simplify curve' or 'resample curve' as it would keep the same keys, but smooth them out so there's less noise, and the curve becomes smoother. Show More

(Copied from original User Voice forum)   "in XSI there was the ability to draw points on a curve by just clicking while holding down "i" not like the way it is now, where you insert a new key in maya, but you could actually just draw points randomly, I used it to add variance in my animation curves, like noise to make it less mechanical. it was a fast way to add things. I want it back" Show More

(Copied from original User Voice forum)   "I would like to be able to import several sound nodes, offset them in maya and when I playblast have them all in the resulting video file. Maya has always only allowed a single audio node into a playblast. The reason I've wanted this is because dialog is so closely tied to animation that tweaks to dialog timing are often necessary during the animation process, and it's a pain to jump back and forth between an external editor, offset the dialog, and replace it back into maya. "Why not use the trax editor" you say? Well it doesn't do scrub preview, overlapping sounds don't mix together, and the playblast still doesn't get all the separate sounds into it." Show More

When inserting keys (select curves, right click, Insert Key), the graph editor selects all keys in the curves *except* the new keys, which seems backwards and isn't very useful.   It should select the newly created keys instead, so they can be dragged immediately.   Show More

Dear Autodesk, please strongly consider extending the 'Maya Indie' pricing and program. It has been extremely helpful! Thanks for your consideration! Show More

Starting of apliccation should work in bg. It's very anoying when you working on another software and you have to open some project on maya for some asset and maya kicks windows and splashscreen to foreground, you click on your app for continue working and maya kicks windows to foreground 2 times more. DO IT! something with this. Show More

Some useful motion capture data, for example some nice walk cycles, !!crowd animation!! like cheering, clapping, sit to stand, stand to sit. Maybe some people at a concert.   Ballerina dancing and basket player aren't particularly useful... Show More

I'm really liking the new graph editor. So much so, that I think the timeline could be replaced (optional for the user of course) if you added some extra functionality to the graph editor from the timeline. 1. Middle mouse drag to copy keys. 2. Playback controls in the graph editor UI (tested this and maya 2017 will not initiate playback using only the hotkey without the timeline in your workspace. Flipping keys does function though). 3. Make the Select Curve (M hotkey) setting available as a default in the preferences (Maya should do this anyway).  Show More

Hey TJ: One thing I really liked in Max, but can't seem to replicate in Maya is when I reach the end of the timeline while framing forward one frame at a time Max would loop back to the first frame. Maya just keeps going...is it possible to set Maya to loop back? -- The idea here is to do that with a preference option to turn on/off looping for the NextFrame command.  So you can turn it off if you want it the way it is today, or turn it on so it loops back to the first frame (and turn that on by default out of the box).
