Getting Started, Documentation, Tips & Tricks

Tip for all Maya users!
You might already know this, but
On irix the latest version was 6.5 or something i guess, wich means compabillity issues with opening files made by a newer version.
BUT if youre working with .ma files, you can edit the file in notepad or whatever removing the line "requires maya "2012";
(its at the top) voila, will open in 6.0 for irix eventhough it was made in 2012.

Ofcourse some stuff in the scene wont work at all, but still..fun stuff!

For reference if you're going the other way (ie from 2012 to 6.5), you'll need to remove these lines from your .ma file:

relationship
.slnk
.setAttr ".unw" 1
setAttr ".g*
.covm[0]
.cdvm[0]

And then replace the "requires maya xxxx" line with "requires maya 6.5"

I haven't noticed any other problems using my PC to create scenes in 2012 and then having my O300s render them.
