Re: Maya 2017 - animation updates!!!
I tried out 2017 and used the parallel rig evaluation and gpu instancing...dramatic increase in performance from 2016 for animation playback, even using those features in 2016. I went from 10-12fps to 25-30 using one of the heaviest iAnimate rigs in viewport 2.0, and that was on my laptop. Couple of improved layouts for… -
Maya 2017 - animation updates!!!
Omg, Maya 2017 is taking a few things from motion builder and becoming even better at animation!! Time Editor (Mobu's story tool) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8VKxhJCkXo Improved graph editor (Much like mobu's) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCecoi00s7Q -
Re: Maya 2017 - animation updates!!!
a lot of selectable things active at the same time, easy to click the wrong manipulator... step mode doesn't apply uniformly to all selected objects/affectors. plotting animation seems a poor substitute for euler filter. Also seems twitchy response overall to tablet input... clicks will randomly unclick or double click,… -
Re: Maya 2017 - animation updates!!!
I constantly work with 10-20 characters in my scene, plus level geo, and have no issues. I've gotten maybe 2 crashes in the last 14 months? It's funny. When you talk to animators about their preferred tools, it seems like everyone hates the one they hate because it crashes a lot. But what's killer is that everyone has… -

Re: Maya 2017 - animation updates!!!
Haha! That's funny! I've never had a "proper" PC that can handle 3D work so that might be one of the main issues. My PC right now has such a crappy graphics card, it won't even boot MoBu. Something about OpenGL. -
Re: Maya 2017 - animation updates!!!
Does motionbuilderHito said: Does MoBu still crash/freeze regularly. Last time I used was at uni and it was the most buggiest/unstable piece of software I've used. -
Re: Maya 2017 - animation updates!!!
yeah probably. So far there doesn't seem to be anything spectacularly great about motionbuilder, just to usual pains when switching apps. -
Re: Maya 2017 - animation updates!!!
I'm on the fence...on one hand this looks great, on the other the BS they're pulling with the Arnold renderer doesn't make me want to try it. I like to render my shots for my demoreel without a watermark :(
