MtI Maya 2010 on Mac ?
MtI Maya 2010 on Mac ?
I am new to MtI so I am sorry for this really basic question but I cant Install the Plugin.
The installation guide is for PC so I dont know where I have to copy what files.
Could anybody tell me ?
I have Maya 2010.
Thanks!

hi JBKING,
this important question was always eluded until you asked and I'm now starting to have a good clue on the how. I could give you raw folder names where to copy files but I'm about to release a new mti version, with less files and less bugs.
You should then find instructions in the zip archive. Your feedback as a mac user will be welcome then, as your may experience more troubles than Windows users at first. I have no mac at hand, sorry !
It's a matter of days before the release

Also, looking forward to the release!
Re: MtI Maya 2010 on Mac ?
This might help $oup, but there's also the possibility to ask Maya for the actual paths it uses. I'll look into sort of an install script today, an assistant for installation at the least.

That sounds great! looking forward to the release
But it would be very nice if you could give me some foldernames so I could try out the current mti as long as the new release come out

Re: MtI Maya 2010 on Mac ?
Thanks for your patience JBKING, MtI 2.x beta 1 is incoming
First off, read and follow the Installation section of the revised quick start text file. The installer should be platform independent.
To be honest I don't expect MtI to work flawlessly on non-Windows systems, but with feedback and more patience we'll be there !

Re: MtI Maya 2010 on Mac ?
Ok, that's a surprise
On Windows, the Indigo shelf will not be put ahead but it will be added down the shelf tabs. Do you mean that it is not listed in the shelf tabs ?
In this case, I doubt that Maya will be able to locate it. Let's try to see. In the Script Editor or Command Line, enter the following:
Code: Select all
shelf_Indigo;
Code: Select all
mti_CHK_self; mti_EDI;
Code: Select all
mti_CHK_self; mti_Gen;
shelf:
Code: Select all
internalVar -userShelfDir
Code: Select all
print (`internalVar -userAppDir`+"scripts")
Code: Select all
internalVar -userBitmapsDir
Code: Select all
print(`internalVar -userPresetsDir`+"/attrPresets")

Re: MtI Maya 2010 on Mac ?
Thank you very much for this. the top part didnt work but I had manually installed the plugin step by step copied the files. That worked very well but I cant set the location of the indigo render application. applications on mac are folders with an .app extension so its impossible to select the indigo.app. you go in tothe folder if you click open. could you write an script or tell me the path to the file I have to change ? So I could change it manually.

Ah well the option is not exposed yet coz I wanted to change the way. It won't last.JBKING wrote://Edit: is it possible to export animations ? I dont see any settings in the plugin .
Let me know how the code above helps, or what gives.

Re: MtI Maya 2010 on Mac ?
Thanks for this! The export works well but is it right that the render does not start automatically ?
And where can the exported file be located ? I dont find it.

Re: MtI Maya 2010 on Mac ?
The IGS file should be in your current Maya project directory, File > Project > Edit to see its actual path. Namely:
I presume that the render not starting is another Mac issue. Make sure that the "render" switch is on in the Exporter settings tab, it's possible to play with it then forget about....
Mac specific issues may be fixed progressively, until I've got one myself. Meanwhile I'll provide as much support as possible.
Code: Select all
workspace -q -rd;

Re: MtI Maya 2010 on Mac ?
Hmm no there is no indigo file. but there is an untitled indigo file in the folder before the project folder ? But there is not anything to render in it. its a clean white ground....
Do you maybe know why ?

You mean that the command
returns the folder above your current project directory ?
I'll follow $oup's suggestion as these points can be adressed internally. edit: Request sent !
Code: Select all
workspace -q -rd
Because I'm ignoring the subtleties of OSX, and of ~nix OSes in general. Because Maya seems to be hosted slightly differently than I expected on Mac. Because you didn't return the commands results to mewhy ?

hmm I opened another scene and it works perfectly There were some warnings while the export ran but it works. Thanks !
Is the beta 2 Mac ready ?
/* Edit: Oh you cant use .igm Materials. There is an error which says that the material isn't defined in line 117. Can this be fixed ?
