Good Practices - Mesh Match for Maya

To ensure a smooth experience, please adhere to the following guidelines.

Topology Verification: Utilize Maya’s built-in topology checks to confirm your meshes are free of non-manifold geometries.
Consistent Normals direction: It is crucial that normals on both objects are valid and consistently point in the same direction. This is essential because the node will use the normals directions of both meshes for the comparison algorithm.
Unlocked normals: for a coherent output display (like for any other deformer in maya) the input normals for the target mesh need to be unlocked. If your output mesh looks correct in smooth display but not in unsmooth, the the issue is most likely this one. This can happen when importing fbx meshes in your scene.
Mesh Density: For meshes originating from scans with a very high point count, the computation (before sampling) can become slow. If your workflow permits, consider performing an automatic retopology using Maya or other software. A suggested max vertex count is below 50,000 – 100,000.

Appropriate Scale: While the node is scale-agnostic, aim to work with objects of a reasonable size, ideally between 1 and 100 units, to ensure optimal calculation performance.
Deformation Space: All deformations are calculated in local space and then translated back to the reference space. Therefore, it’s not necessary to position your meshes directly on top of each other. You can even freeze their transformations at different locations. The critical aspect is that both meshes must share the same orientation when all their transformations are reset.

UI Considerations: Be aware that the User Interface (UI) registers numerous callbacks for undo and reciprocal updates. This may lead to bugs that are strictly UI-related.
Reporting Procedure: Before submitting any bug reports, attempt to reproduce the issue both with and without the UI. Please use the dedicated form for reporting. Your feedback is valuable for quickly identifying and resolving issues.
