Known Limitations - New
- Maya 2024 is not supported
Known Limitations - Existing
- Deselecting "Receive Shadows" does not work.
- Light Linking volumes is not currently supported
- Creating a mesh light from existing geometry during IPR will duplicate the geometry in-render. Restart the render to remove the duplicate.
- We do not support Camera Facing Curves in Xgen
- Xgen will not reflect changes in the Collection
- Maya Fur Feedback is not supported
- On Windows, jobs running mayabatch will hang at the end if Autodesk's mtoa plug-in is loaded. This can be avoided if you unload mtoa, change it to not autoload, and resave the scene without Arnold dependencies.
