This sounds like a memory leak which can be a little tough to diagnose.

When I work on these same scenes on a PC the memory usage stays very low - around 500MB.īecause of this issue I can't work on Maya for more than 30 minutes before having to restart it. From what it looks like, just moving a controller can add 100MB to Maya's memory usage. I though it might be related to undo but I have the default settings of a finite undo with Queue size 50. Whenever I use Maya the software starts draining more and more memory until it reaches around 30GB and than crashes. I'm working on a very small scenes with just a single character model that I've referenced (specifically I'm using Norman and Eleven rig from 11 Second Club).įrom what it looks like, every action I perform in maya (which is mostly changing the controllers) adds more memory usage and it ramps up pretty quickly. I'm running macOS Sierra version 10.12.6 and working on Maya 2017 Update 4. I have a Macbook Pro 13' (Early 2015 model) Intel Core i5 2.7GHz processor, 16GB Ram and an Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 MB Graphics Card.
