| Purchasers of Maya PowerModeler should refer to the Alias 8.5 qualification chart | ||||||
Purchasers of Maya PowerModeler will receive an additional PowerModeler box.
Maya 1.0 is fully qualified and supported only under IRIX 6.2 and higher OS/Hardware configurations and will not load or run under IRIX5.3.
Customers with valid SGI software support should have already received IRIX 6.2, which was sent out starting in May 1996. Customers in North America who have not received IRIX 6.2 yet, should call the Technical Assistance Center at 1-800-800-4744. International customers should call their local SGI office.
Qualification for this release was performed using recommended patch sets from SGI. It is strongly recommended that any indicated patches be installed for the proper operation of the Maya 1.0 software.
Patch sets are patches that Silicon Graphics recommends you install
on your system. These patches are considered crucial for successful
system operation. Patch sets are updated every month and new patches
are regularly added and replaced as required. Alias
will usually only attempt to qualify with Quarterly patch sets
(Jan/April/July/October).
It is possible for new workstations to have a newer patch set
installed than what is listed here. In such a case it is not recommended
that you remove that patch set and downgrade to what is listed
here. It is unlikely that the new patch set will cause any problems
but in the event that a patch related problem occurs you may have
to contact SGI support at the above listed number.
Customers with valid SGI software support can gain access to patches through the worldwide web:
Customers without worldwide web access should call the Technical
Assistance Center or their local SGI office as indicated above.
You can subscribe to an e-mail notification service for patch
sets. This service will give you a detailed account of patch set
modifications and additions. Subscription is located in the Supportfolio
Online Membership section.
Maya 1.0 will read Alias Wire files up to Alias 8.5
Maya 1.0 will write Alias 8.1 compatible wire files.
Maya 1.0 will also import any 3Design Geo files created since 4.2.
Usage of Maya Developers' Kit requires MIPSpro 7.1 or 7.2 compilers. The MIPSpro 7.2 compiler is strongly preferred. Please see note [7] below.

Hardware Notes
For any product other than Render Software, all SGIs require a
z-buffer, except Indy XL, and Indigo2 XL. Eight-bit graphics configurations
are not supported.
A minimum of 128MB RAM is required.
| [h1] | Patch 2895 (6.4 Impact Graphics fixes) is required on all Octane machines.Without the patch, certain operations involving image planes and multipass hardware rendering can cause the Xserver or IRIX to restart. |
| [h2] | Patch 2862 (O2 graphics bugfix and performance fixes) is required on all O2 machines. Without the patch, when using color gain and offset on image planes or texture maps displayed with OpenGL, Color values are not clamped correctly. If the color gain and offset cause the value of the pixel to be less than 0 or greater than 1 then the displayed color will be a random value. |
| [h3] | Due to hardware limitation, High Impact machines without the optional TRAM hardware Renderview will not display correctly. |
| [h4] | Patch 2677 (Indigo2 Impact IRIX 6.2 (Critical Apps)) is required on any machine with an Impact graphic board. Without the patch, certain operations involving image planes and multipass hardware rendering can cause the Xserver or IRIX to restart. |
| [h5] | Hardware texturing will only work on the port to which it was first bound. So, if you need hardware texturing in "hardware render buffer", then make sure you enter into textured mode first in this window. If you need hardware texturing in the 3D view, make sure it is switched to that mode first. You cannot have both of these ports in textured mode while working on Reality Engine or Infinite Reality graphic boards. |

Maya 1.0 plug-ins that require support for C++ exceptions will
not function correctly on IRIX 6.2, 6.3 or 6.3 unless a part of
patch 2483 is installed on the system. The only plug-in provided
with Maya 1.0 that requires this functionality is ribExport. If
you attempt to use such a plug-in without the necessary part of
the patch installed, Maya will crash with the error: Assertion failed in file "../../c++runtime/throw.cxx", line 841 Patch 2483 is quite large (approximately 150Megabytes), and unless you are using the MIPSpro 7.2 compilers, you don't require most of it. The part required by Maya plug-ins to support C++ exceptions is the "Standard Execution Libraries (C++)". |
Maya 1.0 IS NOT QUALIFIED and NOT SUPPORTED on R2000 and R3000 based systems:
In addition, the following Graphics Systems ARE NOT QUALIFIED and NOT SUPPORTED:
