| Bug Number | Description |
| Animation | |
| MAYA-21556 | Grease Pencil : Does not work when camera
is parented to an animated object. Workaround : Use a parent constraint to constrain the camera to the animated object. |

resources All the MPx based objects in C# are referenced by their C++ MPx object counterpart. These objects will be disposed by the garbage collection mechanism as common C# objects. |

| MAYA-17133 | Locked DAG container allows parenting Old behavior: If a dagContainer (itself) is locked, the user can still parent another unlocked dag node under this dagContainer. New behavior: If a dagContainer (itself) is locked, the user can NOT parent another unlocked dag node under this dagContainer. For any other dag node that is not a dagContainer, parenting any other unlocked dag node under it is still permitted. |
| MAYA-22303 | When parenting an object into a Scene Assembly containing an asset, the object is parented, but disappears in the (Outliner) hierarchy. |

| MAYA-6185 | Bullet acceleration has no effect on Rigid Bodies. |
| Cache Representation - Baked Geometry | |
| MAYA-22558 | The gpuCache plug-in in the devkit does
not compile. Workaround: Define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN macro in Visual Studio project settings. |
| MAYA-22579 | GPU memory of Quadro 4000 on Mac is
detected as -2048 by gpuCache, and then the Maximum VRAM for gpuCache
is set as 0 by default. You must manually set the "Maximum VRAM for All Cache Buffers". Do not use the default setting; otherwise the playback performance of the gpuCache will not be optimal because it doesn't use GPU memory at all. |

| FileIO | |
| MAYA-3088 | The mayaBinary file size limitation (2
GBytes) has been removed to support a larger file size. Maya now writes Maya binary files with a new IFF format. The chunk size is 64-bit. The new format is not compatible with the old IFF format where the chunk size is 32-bit. Older releases of Maya cannot open these new new binary files. |
| MAYA-18148 | File > Open: reference fails with
an 'unknown file type' error if the plug-in describing the file type is
not loaded. Workaround: A user can force a plug-in to autoload by modifying the pluginPrefs.mel file. |
| Installation |
|
| MAYA-20596 |
When
using the Autodesk uninstall tool with the Maya package, if you choose
to uninstall a program other than Maya, a warning appears and you are
unable to uninstall. The same occurs for Composite and MatchMover. Workaround: Use Add/Remove programs instead. |

Plug-in
assembly load error occurs when using the 'send to' options from the
Ultimate Suite The 'send to' options from the Ultimate Suite 4.0.0.54 throws an error on Windows 8 when using Maya to Max/Mudbox to Max Workarounds: 1. Start Max first before selecting “Send to 3ds Max”. Or 2. Do not call the Windows function SetDllDirectory() during Maya's startup. Setting the environment variable MAYA_PRIVATE_DLL_PATH to a value that is really long; that is, one that is greater than the Windows MAXPATH (512 characters), forces the effective path to be NULL. The call to SetDllDirectory will not be made. This needs to be set before Maya is run, and cannot be added to the Maya.env file for it to be recognized. (Set the environment variable instead using other methods such as: from the command window before launching Maya, via launching Maya from a batch file, or from My Computer > Properties > Advanced system settings > Environment Variables.) |

| MAYA-1436 | Localized default file name causes crash when one-click function is used to send file to other software. |
| MAYA-18046 | "Ctrl+Space" conflicts with the default

you are using a Japanese or Simplified Chinese version of Maya, and you
right-click the object and select Paint > 3D Paint, you will not
be able to use the 'Attribute to paint' drop-down list under the File
Textures section of the 3D Paint tool settings. To
workaround this problem, remove the following resource file: Windows

| MAYA-22637 | HIK Control loads plug-in language
resource file many times in Japanese mode When using Maya in Japanese or Simplified Chinese, if you try to use the Character Controls and click the Control tab, Maya attempts to load a plug-in language resource file multiple times and Maya slows down as a result. Workaround: 1. Comment out loadPluginLanguageResources in mayaHIKInitStrings.mel By default, the file is installed in following path; Windows: c:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2014\scripts\others\mayaHIKInitStrings.mel MacOSX: /Applications/Autodesk/maya2014/Maya.app/Contents/scripts/others/mayaHIKInitStrings.mel Comment out line 32 as below: From: loadPluginLanguageResources( "mayaHIK", "mayaHIK.pres.mel"); To: // loadPluginLanguageResources( "mayaHIK", "mayaHIK.pres.mel"); 2. Run the following command manually in the Script Editor before using HIK to initialize the HIK plug-in resource for Japanese and Simplified Chinese UI: loadPluginLanguageResources( "mayaHIK", "mayaHIK.pres.mel"); Most of the HIK UI appears localized, except for the effector context menu that appears in English. An alternative workaround is to use Maya in English in a Japanese/Simplified Chinese Windows environment by running Maya with MAYA_UI_LANGUAGE=en_US. |

| MAYA-22357 | Unified Sampling is enabled unexpectedly
when bringing legacy scenes into 2014 In Maya 2014, if you open a scene from a previous version of Maya that renders using the mental ray for Maya renderer, your sampling settings are changed to use Unified Sampling. Some features, such as contour rendering, are not supported with Unified Sampling. To render such scenes with their previously-saved legacy sampling settings, choose Legacy Sampling Mode in the mental ray Render Settings, Quality tab. The commands: setAttr "miDefaultOptions.miRenderUsing" 2; (Standard Legacy Mode) and setAttr "miDefaultOptions.miRenderUsing" 1; (Legacy Rasterizer mode) can also be used to revert to legacy sampling. New Presets are also available for Unified Sampling in the main Render Settings Presets menu, including: Preview, Production, FinalFrameEXR. |

MAYA-20905 |
Instability
when undoing quad draw on combined mesh Maya can become unstable when using Quad Draw on combined meshes (that is, selecting multiple surfaces and choosing Mesh > Combine). To improve stability, delete history on combined meshes before enabling Quad Draw. |
| MAYA-22162 | Modeling Toolkit: Mesh
Editing tools do not stay active upon file save Modeling
Toolkit tools (including mesh editing tools like Quad Draw, Multi-Cut,
and so forth) are deactivated after saving a scene.
It
is therefore recommended to disable auto-save while working with the
Modeling Toolkit. |

| MAYA-21592 | Opening the Namespace Editor in scenes with large assembly reference hierarchies causes Maya to freeze. |
| MAYA-22052 | Cannot use Custom Scene Assembly render
settings to render GPU Cache representations in Viewport 2.0 when the

Hierarchical instantiated objects sharing shape nodes corrupt shading when 'duplicate special with graph' is performed on root. Workaround: Select
all geometric objects in workspace, then run Modify > Convert
> Instance to Object, and then duplicate w/ input graph. or Perform
duplicate with input connections. |
| MAYA-11993 | Incorrect coloring on wireframes for some
ghosts There is a difference between Viewport 2.0 and the default and high quality viewports - the rendering order in Viewport 2.0 is not the same as the old workspaces, and objects that are exactly the same may draw in a different order and may be drawn on top of another object. Animation layer ghosting is a common place for this to happen. |
| MAYA-14916 | Marquee selection in UV Editor and
Default viewport causes cascading artifacts with ATI Radeon 7970. Workaround: Use driver # 8.980.0.0 from June 2012. |

MAYA-18848 |
"Default
Texture Data" feature seems broken for plug-in hardware shaders (HLSL,
CGFX, DX11). |
| MAYA-18501 | Failure to switch between Viewport 2.0
and its render override, such as "viewRenderOverride", when running
maqueeTool, which supports MUIDrawManager. When running the scene view in overlay render mode, you may not be able to override your renderer. For example, when running the marqueeTool from the devkit, when the marqueeTool plug-in is executed, you enter into overlay render mode. If you then try to override your renderer (by switching to a custom renderer via the Renderer menu), the heads up display still indicate Viewport 2.0 even though the custom renderer radio button is selected. To work around this issue, refresh the scene view by tumbling the camera. |
| MAYA-18577 | The interface to MPxPrimitiveGenerator
has changed and plug-in developers must update their plug-ins to the
new interface. |
| MAYA-20976 | When running DirectX11 mode in Viewport
2.0, it is possible that the hardware device cannot be instantiated. In this case, the WARP software rasterizer (*) is used instead. The use of WARP is indicated in the output window when the renderer is first used. In addition, the heads-up display, which indicates the current renderer, also indicates that WARP is being used. (*) WARP = Windows Advanced Rasterization Platform. Refer to the documentation from Microsoft for more details. Note that WARP may not support the full set of features that a hardware rasterizer supports. This is more noticeable with the Windows 7 platform than with the Windows 8 platform. WARP is currently not a qualified configuration. You can also set the environment variable MAYA_FORCE_DX_WARP to 1 in order to always use the WARP software rasterizer. |
| MAYA-21640 | Loading legacy 2013 Ext1/2 scenes that
use MayaUberShader.fxo get shaders reset 2014 In Extension 1 and Extension 2 for Maya 2013, Maya used UI names instead of shader variable names for the attribute names of HLSL shaders (for use with DX11 in Viewport 2.0). This is different from the behavior of other software such as 3ds Max, and therefore you may not be able to export your Maya file using FBX for use with 3ds Max. This affects both your custom HLSL shaders and the MayaUberShader.fx/.fxo shaders provided by Maya. In Maya 2014, Maya now uses shader variable names for attribute names for HLSL shaders. If you attempt to use the MayaUberShader.fx or .fxo shaders from Extension 1/2 for Maya 2013 in Maya 2014, your attributes are automatically converted to use shader variable names; however, your shader settings will be lost and all values are reset to default. To workaround this problem, add the following annotation to your shader technique: bool VariableNameAsAttributeName = false; As an alternative, you can also substitute your dx11Shader file with the version of MayaUberShader.fx/.fxo that is shipped with Maya 2014 to regain the shader attribute values. It is recommended that you use the AutodeskUberShader.fx/.fxo files provided with Maya 2014 for new projects. |

MAYA-22004 |
If your motion blur has
no effect when an image plane is immediately behind a moving object,
you can workaround this issue by setting the
MAYA_VP2_OFF_NON_PE_FRAGMENT environment variable to 1. Setting this
environment variable allows the image plane to be included in the
calculations of all scene post effects, such as screen space ambient
occlusion, depth of field and motion blur.

| Scripting | |
| MAYA-16254, MAYA-17613 | The behaviour of Maya's 'memory' command
has been made more consistent. A side effect is that any script or
plug-in that uses the command must be modified as follows: 1) Numeric results used to be returned in an array containing a single int or float value. Now they are returned as just int or float values, without the array. Therefore, code like this: int $swaps[] = `memory -swaps`; must be changed to this: int $swaps = `memory -swaps`; 2) The -heapMemory/-he, -freeMemory/-fr and -physicalMemory/-phy flags used to ignore the unit flags (e.g. -kiloByte) and always return their results in megabytes. Now they obey the unit flags, and if none are specified, they return their results in bytes like the other memory flags. These three flags also used to return their values as floats. Now they return their values as ints like the other memory flags. To get results as floats, the new -asFloat/-af flag must be used. So code like this: float $free[] = `memory -freeMemory`; must be changed to this: float $free = `memory -freeMemory -megaByte -asFloat`; |
| MAYA-17358 | When scripting in Python, the function
"os.path.expanduser()" returns different results when called from the
GUI than from the command line (on Windows). There are two workarounds: 1) Initialize the Maya environment within mayapy. import maya.standalone maya.standalone.initialize() Now os.path.expanduser() returns the same value in mayapy as it does in Maya. 2) Set the HOME environment variable before starting up Maya. The value that it is set to is used by by os.path.expanduser() in both Maya and mayapy. |

| MAYA-19371 | Maya CER now does not disclose the scene
path/file name by default. The default behaviour now is to not disclose the scene path/file name. Set environment variable MAYA_CER_INCLUDE_SCENE_NAME as follows to specify the behavior you prefer: 0 (default) - scene name is listed as undisclosed 1 - include only the file name 2 - include the full path/file name |
| UI General | |
| MAYA-20637 | The Maya file browser cannot open files
with filenames that contain the characters "[" and "]". To workaround this issue, use the OS native file browser. Select this option from the Preferences Window. |
| MAYA-12034 | QT Crash - when clicking Attribute Editor
navigation button Workarounds: 1. Add -ss (-skipSelect) flags to the shadingNode commands that create the new texture placement and file texture nodes. This will prevent the Attribute Editor from switching to them before the callback ends, as the nodes are not selected on creation. 2. add "evalDeferred( "select " + $fileNode )" at the end - this means that in a second, the new file node will be selected, and the Attribute Editor will switch to it (after the callback exits). This way, the Attribute Editor ends up in the same state as it would have been before. |
| MAYA-22469 | Maya constantly executes "toolButton -q
-ann $gNonSacredToolWidget;", making it difficult to read the contents
of the Script Editor history. Workaround: moduleDetectionLogic refers to the new "autoloader" plug-in. Unloading "autoLoader" prevents the following commands: moduleDetectionLogic; loadModule -scan;. |
