Use of any other character or symbol is prohibited. If a prohibited character is used, it will be converted to an underscore (_) at time of output. <br> A node name and such sometimes includes a colon (:) when Import or Reference has been used. Note that the colon is a prohibited character and will be converted to an underscore when output is made to the intermediate file. Nodes named <CODE>Test:Cube1</CODE> and <CODE>Test_Cube1</CODE> are handled as different names by Maya, but are handled as the same name by NintendoWare. This is caused by NW4R name conversion when intermediate files are output.</p> 76</li> 77<li>Regarding Uppercase and Lowercase 78<p>Although either uppercase or lowercase characters can be entered for notation used in Windows, they are overwritten when output because <CODE>ABC.cmdl</CODE> and <CODE>abc.cmdl</CODE> are recognized as the same file during internal processing. On the other hand, the names <CODE>ABC</CODE> and <CODE>abc</CODE> (when used for a node name, for example) with Maya are treated as different names. In other words, such names can co-exist. There is a possibility that such naming with Maya might collide during data clipping. When outputting data externally from Maya to the operating system in the form of files, make sure to name the files in such a way that there will be no conflict, even when the name is treated as all lowercase.</p> 79 </li> 80</ul> 81 82<h2 id="maya2011">Maya2011 Restrictions</h2> 83<p>The following restrictions apply to the new features in Maya2011</p> 84 85<ul> 86 <li> 87 When using Scene Time Warp, the animations for all nodes are baked.<br> They will be baked by simply adding Scene Time Warp, even if warp effects have not been configured. 88 </li> 89 <li> 90 When you use Dual Quaternion skinning, the result nevertheless will be output as Classic Linear skinning mode.<br> Take note of this, because the data that is output differs from the Maya preview.
