Maya 2009 For Mac: A Comprehensive Review and Comparison with Other 3D Software



Personally, when trying to run PyQt from within Maya 2009 / 2010 using the pumpThread method, I never had much luck. The best I ever got was the ability to bring up a dialog but not without locking up the UI, even though the pumpThread tool is meant to address that.


If you happen to have a mixed library environment like me, with more than one python lib location for code, and you see any funny errors while importing a module, just make sure that mayas python site-package is always in the front of the sys.path:




Maya 2009 For Mac



or even better, just make an application out of that shell script with Platypus. That way, you only have to maintain one version of Maya (MR shaders, etc) and you save hard drive space. I just made for Maya 2009 and 2010 if you want them:

The best deal I was able to find on the internet is from Studica at www.studica.com for Maya 2009 Unlimited SuperPack where they are charging $195 for the 14 month license and $389 for the perpectual license for students and educators prices. Keep in mind, if you are going to purchase the 14 month license and not the perpertual license, it will be cheaper and more convenient through the UNI CCC (Computer Consulting Center) IF they get the approval today or tommorrow to buy 50 copies to sell over the next couple of semesters.

Im ok in maya, at first i was a little startled to say the least that the possibility my work in zbrush was up the creek.I have a Dell Precision 690 with a quadro,so i knew it was not a display problem.Adding a Blinn sorted it out,and thats as far as i had got.


I am not professional in maya but i can change the shading settings. as i said when i change it to shded and also turn on hardware texturing, it does not change and still is in wireframe. do u think there might be any other option in zbrush? am i following the right steps in order to use goz?


i had that same problem at first, but then i replace the default start script with the older default start script from Zbrush 3.1 which gave me the selection of different tools. you can either do that or just leave zbrush open before you click goZ on maya/modo

Posted November 3, 2011 I've been completely stumped trying to get my rigged meshes uploaded to SL. I'm working on a Mac using Maya 2009.


I'm sorry to report there's no Mac version of openCOLLADA for Maya 2009. The only one for Mac right now is for Maya 2011. I'm on a PC, obviously, so it doesn't matter for me, but for Mac users with older versions of Maya, there may be a lot of wasted upload costs, if the results I got today are in any way consistent.


The original Mac Pro models formally support a total capacity of 2 TB (four 500 GB drives), the "Early 2008" models up to 4 TB (four 1 TB drives), and the "Early 2009," "Mid-2010" and "Mid-2012" models up to 8 TB (four 2 TB drives), although EveryMac.com readers have reported that larger hard drives work without issue in all models.


These lines here specifically hit hard to the listener and to Mac himself. They represent his past times and what he had to go through in that specific year which was 2009. Mac battled many things including depression that was fueled by a deadly drug addiction, as well as relationship issues that were also prominent in the ideas for his songs.
