Maya 6.0 IRIX qualified hardware[/url]
Any Indy with 8bit graphics INTERACTIVE APPLICATIONS CANNOT RUN. For other purposes refer to Indy above
Indy R4000/R4400/R4600/R5000 with 24bit graphics Untested: IRIX 6.5.12m [3][4]
[3] Indy 24bit: you are likely to encounter the following known problems:
* CVs and vertices may show through polygonal geometry in hardware shaded mode
* Under some circumstances, sprites in hardware shaded mode may appear broken up.
* Some workflows may cause screen refresh to be incorrect as you tumble and track views. Although it is unlikely that you will encounter this, changing to shaded mode and back will often correct the display.
* Transparency does not display correctly in Hardware Render Buffer.
* Indy graphic systems may encounter minor graphics related problems that are not listed here in detail. These problems should not affect your workflow.
[4] Indy XZ: you are likely to encounter the following known problems:
* File textures not transparent in xray mode and you will be unable to see CVs, vertices or other components of objects that are behind file mapped objects.
* Some surfaces may incorrectly appear white when rendered in the Hardware Render Buffer.
* Sometimes rendering a region in IPR doesn't display correctly.
* Indy graphic systems may encounter minor graphics related problems that are not listed here in detail. These problems should not affect your workflow.
So, it's not impossible, it's just that nobody was crazy enough to try
I was about to fire up my PowerSeries when I read this:
