Having worked with loads of programs in my time before, I know to well that animation programs are infamous for their for crashing, especially 3D programs, but this case is different I'm pretty sure. I literally had only 3 cubes on the grid with practically no history other than making said cubes, and as i was extruding the faces of one of the cubes, Maya froze to the point where I had to force it to quit. Literally just setting up a framework cause Maya to crash, and it's not the first time this happened, making working at home hell. I remember having times where i loaded a scene, went to google to research things while it loaded, and when i got back to it the program crashed. Reseting my preferences by clearing out the Maya folder thing doesn't fix it for long neither. At this rate it'll be more about fighting the program then making what's desired. I know i have enough ram for the job, i mean 26 Gigabytes, that seems to be plenty
I've done a lot of digging, and from what I found is that apparently Maya 2015 is not always Mac friendly. I've heard from other students that Maya doesn't like Mac that much. Not only that, but I've found a lot of things that cause maya to crash, such as maya failing to save in a proper TEMP folder, or something about triple buffering. Though the thing that comes out fairly often is the graphics drive. I've noticed the school has Nvidia with various editor settings. I've downloaded Nvidia of the most recent update for Mac. But get this..apurently most murst recent updates can cause trouble as well, so ain't that grand.
It's getting to the point where i'm starting to fear doing things in Maya, least at home where i spend most of my time, in fear that Maya will crash while i'm in the middle of starting within the first few minutes of starting, which will make finals, and above all else skill improvement, hell. So i have to ask this, Anyone one knows what makes Maya tick? Especially on Mac Pro desktops. I have a quadcore which i''m sure is 64 bit, and the most recent version of Nvidia Cuda driver, so could someone tell me what's might be going wrong with my mac version of Maya? Or if not, Possibly a good way to Contact some people at AutoDesk To ask about these problems?
And Ps, I'm 100% certain that these crashes are not normal. They don't occur nearly as often on the school computers. I also think that the problem likely lies more with Maya then my computer, but that's just conjecture.
PSS, I also upgraded to Mavrics on the Mac, would that cause any issues?
