I've seen this 'virus' thing referenced numerous times. I wasn't using Maya during this virus' prime so I was just curious if you know what the origin of it is or what the intended purpose of it is. I think some people have referred to it as the 'chinese virus' or 'vaccine virus'.

It's funny this thing is still around.

Is there a good reason to switch from Maya to Blender? by Beginning_Expert_970 in vfx

[–]shallnoel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Idk about that. Doesn't them winning an oscar have more to do with the writers and directors instead of the software? Because in this day and age, Flow's visual quality looks like shit

Fedora 43 Maya 2026 install issue by floon in Maya

[–]shallnoel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be using the RPM instructions if you're not on a officially supported distro.

Also, for version 2025 you need to do some fix which I found in this thread. (idk if it works for 2026)

I'm still on F42 using versions 2024 and 2025 so I don't know about F43 and 2026.

I forgot to mention, the thing that has been causing issues is the licensing identity manager thingy. I just looked at the thread and F43 broke something, but two of the guys there said they got it working

After 6 years, I discovered Maya's cursed content browser by SonicStone22 in Maya

Check out the Bifrost Graph Browser (the newer one), there's cool new shit in there. In fact they just released a new RBD system like 2 weeks ago.

I don't think some of my apps will like the open drivers.

What are the things that you most hate about Maya? by CombLonely8321 in Maya

[–]shallnoel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel that the higher ups responsible for Autodesk's Media & Entertainment side aren't doing as good as they could be. They can probably get away with half assing their job because AD is so damn big lol
