Autodesk released a Hotfix "1" for Maya 2012. The hotfix brings enhancements to Python scripting with the new Maya Python API 2.0. The new API platform should be better, faster and bring more offers to programmers. The structure of the new Python is similar to the old one, so the shouldn’t be any problem to translate from old Python to the new one.
In addition, Maya 2012 Hotfix 1 also includes an updated DMM™ (Digital Molecular Matter) plug-in for Maya from Pixelux Entertainment™ that lets you solve up to 2500 tetrahedrals. On Mac OSX and Linux systems, DMM now supports performance improving multithreading. The update also includes the following fixes:
- - DMM no longer stops unexpectedly on Linux systems.
- - The DMM shelf item no longer disappears after a Maya session is restored.
- - Issues with Passive Regions has been fixed on all platforms.
