I’ve had enough of Maya’s output window, I know I’m not the only one.
\nFortunately Autodesk have introduced a proces to hide the output window with Maya 2015+<\/p>\n

This is done by setting the System Environment Variable: MAYA_NO_CONSOLE_WINDOW 1
\nand restarting your computer.<\/p>\n

To implement this navigate to System Propities > Advanced > Environment Variables<\/p>\n

\"capture\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I get to this screen in Windows 10 by hitting start and typing “Environment Variables”<\/p>\n

Once you’re in the Environment Variables screen, click New<\/p>\n

\"capture2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and create the variable “MAYA_NO_CONSOLE_WINDOW” (without the quotations) and set the value of this variable to 1.<\/p>\n

\"capture3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

once this is done, restart your computer.<\/p>\n

Thats it, you should be done.<\/p>\n

I’ve found this a much cleaner way to work, espically when opening scenes which have a lot of .tif textures to load.<\/p>\n

The only issue I’ve found is that when done without restarting my computer, Maya no longer accessed the python interparator correctly.
\nFurther more, when I was loading a plugin which was missing some components, the output window was useful to display this information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
