Legacy Viewport Code in Maya 2020

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am currently using Maya 2016 and have created my own viewport that extends the Legacy Viewport. 

Because Autodesk is EOL-ing Maya 2016, I'm exploring options to port that viewport over to Maya 2018 or 2020.

Am I correct in assuming that porting the code to Maya 2018 shouldn't be an issue (since you can use Legacy Viewport under the hood),

but for Maya 2020 I would need to port my code over to Viewport 2.0? (because the legacy viewport APIs are no longer supported in 2020?)

Thanks in advance for the help,

Edward

hi,

I faced the same issue, porting my old stuffs to the viewport 2.0 was not an easy job.

Autodesk will put the legacy paradigm as obsolete for sure. I would highly recommend to switch asap.
