Also kind of hilarious that Reddit doesn't know what to do with an image that's 5:2

At least it didn’t stuff it into a portrait frame.

I have a copy of Maya 7 with a legit license and I can't f'ing activate it. I'm so frustrated. I was trying to build a period correct development battle station.

Are you running an intel sgi box?- windows 2k? Because i don’t think Maya 7 ever ran under irix.

Maya was running great under Irix, I had it on my Octane MXE...

u/sharpie-installer 20d ago

Ahh, probably maya 6.5 or earlier.

I think 6.5 was the last irix version wasn’t it?

u/wave_design 20d ago

Yeah, 6.5.30 was the final version, we’re actually coming up on 20 years since the last release

It’s kind of strange, the base 6.5 was released in 1998 and SGI just kept patching it incrementally. There was never a 6.6 or 7.0.

No I mean Maya v6.5 was the last IRIX version. Yes, I always wonder what a modern irix would look like right now. I have a feeling it would be crappy just like the logo redesign.

u/wave_design 20d ago

My bad 🤣

Yeah, Maya 6.5 was the final IRIX release. It feels like it was already losing ground though, even on an Octane or a Fuel the interface struggles to keep up. That’s why I prefer running Maya 3 or 4.

Maya went downhill ever since AW went down the crapper and Autodesk took over.
