• OS and Configuration
• Graphic Cards and Drivers

General Configuration

In order to determine whether your system is qualified to runMaya and mental ray for Maya, you must have a qualified processor,operating system,graphics card, and graphics driver.See the following sections.

As well, you must meet other requirements such as:

• a three button mouse
• an Ethernet network card, or hardware dongle (for productlicensing). Customers intending to license their Autodesk softwarebased on an external network card should be aware that Autodesk doesnot support the use of these devices and cannot guarantee that softwarewill operate correctly when licensed in this way.
• at least 1024 MB of RAM (more is recommended)
• a graphics card and display device capable of screenresolutions of at least 1280 x 1024.

General disclaimers:

• The configurations shown are subject to change, andadditionalqualified configurations may be added after qualification testinghas been carried out.
• It may be possible to successfully use Maya with anon-qualifiedor partially qualified configuration, but support and maintenanceprograms will be subject to the Autodesk Support services guidelines.
• We are unable to qualify all graphics cards on alloperating systems.
• The graphics drivers specified in this document are thedrivers that were used for the qualification process. While it may bepossible to use Maya successfully on earlier or later drivers, Autodeskcannot guarantee their performance or behavior.
• Due to the many operating system and architecturedifferences between the supported platforms, the results of someoperations will differ on different platforms. Thisis most noticeable with operations which iterate to reach their results-- leading to cumulatively large difference -- e.g., dynamics, somerendering. You may not be able to 'mix and match'renderings on different platforms.
• Standard pen pressure sensitivity with Wacom tabletsis supported. However, Wacom mice which are used with tablets havesignificant limitations and cannot be fully integrated with standardnavigation in Maya. We recommend using a standard mouse with Maya, andlimiting pen usage to Maya's Paint Effects and Sculpting tools.Autodeskis working with Wacom to achieve full support for Wacom products.
• When texture images are stored on systems remote from therendering process; depending on network speed, specifications andload it is possible that the renderer may be unable to access atexture file on demand and may 'drop' individual textures on a frameby frame basis. To reduce this occurrence, store textures on a systemlocal to the rendering process.

Operating Systems and processors

The following table shows the operating systems and processorcombinations qualified to run Maya and mental ray for Maya.

• Systems marked 'Qualified'have been tested by Autodesk and have been found to operate asdescribed.
• Systems marked 'Untested'or 'Unsupported'have not been tested by Autodesk.
• Systems marked 'Unsuported'are not considered suitable for use with Maya.
• It may be possible to successfully use Maya on Untested,Unsupported or Not Qualified systems, but support and maintenanceprograms will be subject to the Autodesk Support services guidelines.

Notes on Operating Systems

• We do not recommend saving data directly from Maya to NFSorNovell Netware or other remote mounted file systems. We havereceived several reports of data corruption when saving in thismethod although we have been unable to reproduce this. We stronglyrecommend that you save the files locally and then copy the data tothe mounted storage system.
• Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (SP2).After installation of Service Pack 2, Maya or its component programsmay not launch successfully. If this occurs, you may either Unblock theprogram via the Windows Firewall Security Alert dialogue, or add it asan Exception in the Exceptions Tab in the Windows Firewall dialoguebox. For more information, please see the Microsoft Update at: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=842242&product=windowsxpsp2
• If the Maya tear-off pull-down menus don't display properlyon Windows XP with UI schemes, set UI preference to Windows ClassicStyle. Start >Settings > Control Panel > Display > WindowsClassic

Graphics Cards and Driver Versions

Maya is qualified for the following graphics cards using thespecified driver, with the listedOperating Systems, and anyof the workstations or notebooks listed in the Workstations and Notebookstables. Please see the Detailed DriverNotes and Settings for applicable settings and potentialLimitations specific to your graphics card.

Important: Graphics drivers areusually different for different Windowsoperating systems. Autodesk has tested only drivers listed undereach OS. While it may be possible to use Maya successfully on earlierorlater drivers, Autodesk cannot guarantee their performance orbehavior. If you encounter problems with a driver, we strongly suggestthat you contact the graphic card vendor to report your problem.

Notes about graphics cards

• Where Graphics Controllers are configurable, you must haveatleast 32MB of texture memory (TRAM). Due to the differences in themanner in which hardware vendors approach display memory, we suggestthat you consult your hardware vendor to ensure that yourconfiguration will support your required resolution.
• Autodesk recommends the use of 'Span Mode'for Dual Monitor configurations using Nvidiacards.

Video Cards without Hardware Overlay Planes

Using video cards without Hardware Overlay planes (or HardwareOverlayplanes turned off) can result in poor performance for certainoperationswithin Maya including (but not restricted to) use of tools based onArtisan or Paint Textures technology. There will also be visualdifferences compared with Hardware overlays that may result indifficulty seeing or manipulating aspects of the scene or Mayainterface.

Detailed Driver Notes and Settings

Nvidia GeForce GPUs

There are many cards based on GeForce GPU chipsets. Nvidia andAutodesk do not recommend these cards for usewith Maya as you may experience various refresh, display andstability problems and inadequate performance.We suggest you choose from Nvidia's workstation cards instead,such as the Quadro families which are much better suited to high-end 3Dpackages such as Maya.

Compiler Requirements

If you are building plug-ins for Autodesk Maya 8.5,note the following:

The Maya API requires a specific compiler and linker, on eachof the platforms Autodesk supports in order to build compatibleplug-ins.
The Visual Studio 2005 compileris used to build Autodesk Maya 8.5 on Windows. Using thiscompiler will guarantee binary compatibility when building plug-ins.
