• (#156) Qt.py has been integrated into the mmSolver.ui.Qt sub-package and no longer needs to be installed separately.

Known Issues

• Evaluation
  • Solver engine can become slow with many attributes.
  • The Maya viewport is refreshed during solving to force Maya to evaluate all nodes in the solve. This causes slower performance (e.g. 6 seconds verses 30 seconds), but ensures accurate solver results. Users may wish to turn this feature off in the Solver UI > Edit > Refresh Viewport check box.
• Maya 2016
  • Maya 2016 is unsupported by the mmSolver project, we are not able to provide testing for Maya 2016.
  • On Linux has problems with the new user preferences UI - the release for Maya 2016 is available for download, with this limitation.
  • the Solver UI disables selection of the Attributes - the cause is unknown.
  • The mmSolverType command raises an error with certain flags on Maya 2016 for an unknown reason. This problem is specific to Maya 2016, the same command works on Maya 2017+.
• Compatibility
  • New v0.3.0 default values will not be used until a new Collection is created. Delete your previous Collection and create a new Collection using the Solver UI > File > New Collection menu item.
• Development/Building:
  • The test suite fails on 3 different solver tests, due to a deviation that is too high, this is intentional and will be fixed in a future version.
