Hi Eric:
What kind of expressions are you dealing with that's causing slowdown in
the scene? I've found that they actually evaluate pretty fast short of
making a C++ plugin. If you're writing them as Python, it might be a bit
of a bottleneck I've found.
@ Sebastien: There's not really a list per se...but most of the useful
ones related to rigging will be in the hypershade > Maya > utilities.
There's some simple tricks here and there (such as using condition nodes
to clamp values instead of the actual clamp node for certain inputs)
that you should be aware of, but unfortunately the reality is that
you'll have to get used to either making your own nodes or living with
the smaller variety of utility nodes OOTB.
Yours sincerely,
Siew Yi Liang

I remember chaining up multDoubleLinears once, so maybe it wasn't

Searching for maya help is like searching for ringtones or song
lyrics. The signal:noise ratio of google results is pretty bad.
You usually end up in the tall grass of CGtalk threads from 2007.

Brilliant! Thank you very much, I would not have thought of
looking there. Now I can stop pouring over the internet
looking for a solution and get back to work ;)
It is odd that this didn't come up in any Google searches.
Thanks again Ben :)
I'm so glad that this list is still alive.

I'm porting over some of my core rig components. when
I hit a brick wall...
Maya having no exponent or power nodes?!?!
Sure I could roll my own in C++ if my C++ code-fu was
strong enough or use one of the plugins that have
already been compiled.
The problems are:
1) I can not require a client to figure out how to
install a plugin in order for a rig to work
2) None of these plugins that I can find have been
compiled for Maya 2015
Maya's expressions are too slow to evaluate. Does
anyone have any suggestions of how I can get around
this in the node editor without resorting to a plugin?
I swear, the "brilliant" mastermind behind EOLing
Softimage deserves several sharp kicks in the yarbles >.<
