Why DMM is never out on time ?

#1

Why EVERY year, when maya new release is out, DMM plugin is never ready and we have to wait months for the plugin ? How hard can it be to compile this plugin for 2014 version ? It seems like a very basic job for any maya plugin company, especially knowing that they announce they will not integrate any new functions so far (maybe on a later release) so it’s just a 2013 to 2014 compatibility…

They will release it in few months and 3 months after, new maya will be released and he we go again.

I got the feeling that they have absolutely no respect for little consumers (maybe studios have their respect and already have 2014 version) and their support is absolutely not their priority. I never seen such a lazy company

Its probably the other way round, studio’s won’t have switched over to 2014 yet (and won’t for a while) so they probably don’t feel the need to update it.

on their forum it’s been 4 months they announced “working” on 2014 version (4 months to compile their plugin for 2014 we reach the ridiculous).

I believe the last version was a bit more than a recompile. Personally I’ve had great support from the company. I too am waiting for the new plugin but give them a chance or maybe contact them. They are actually pretty cool.

I have not had any issues working with them and submitting bug fixes. I contact the team directly. They will compile whatever you need…as long as you are a customer and non of your current builds are not pirated…you should be okay.

Also keep in mind…DMM is on their own schedule…they don’t work for Autodesk and are not entitled to release anything predicated based off of Autodesk’s timeline.
