There are times when basic foundations fall by the wayside, and it is in this premise that the great David Schoneveld has created a great video on better understanding what Autodesk Maya is doing when you delete history, and what happens to the nodes behind the scenes… like open up the ascii file behind the scenes.
In order to become better at Maya we need to have a better understanding of what’s happening “behind the scenes” in Maya. How the node network functions and how Maya automatically connects, disconnects, deletes, etc nodes in your scene. This is a really quick look at a simple shape node network, and what is really happening when you delete history.
