Maya - Turning OFF Plug-Ins permanently
polycounter lvl 9
Hi there, I'm having a small issue with Maya.
For some reason, I've recently had an occurence when all my plug-ins automatically shut off for some reason and so I tried to remember which ones were actually on previously and activate them in the Plug-In Manager. Problem is that I've begun to realize what exactly these plug-ins are now so there's a few I've tried to shut off to make things work more smoothly, however, at some point the stereocamera plug-in activated somehow and it's causing a major strain with Maya and making it freeze up a lot. Usually, it would be as simple as turning it off, but I can't because as soon as I try to do so, it forces me to quit my scene and make a new one and even then when I turn it off (or sometimes even when I reboot Maya) the stereocamera plug-in as well as a few other plug-ins I previously disabled.
The stereocamera is definitely the culprit of my slow performance right now as far as I can tell because there was one situation where I was actually able to turn it off permenently somehow for a scene after I reloaded it and now Maya works as smooth as silk for that scene only. When I open other scenes, the plug-ins return. I am already wasting boatloads of time at this point waiting for Maya to unfreeze itself in my pipeline. Is there a way I can get around this?

Or after deleting these nodes, save as an ascii, then delete the line 'requires "stereoCamera" "10.0";' . Take cover as sometimes maya can crash
Looking at the first few lines of a maya ascii is quite informative, it'll tell you what else that scene needs in terms of dependency nodes.
If that works and you have stuff you want in there you may be able to track down the specific config file that is causing your issue. Or save what you want and try putting that back in after maya recreates preferences.
Hope that helps.
