ml_tools

This is an updated git repository of all the tools found on my website. It's provided as an alternative to downloading tools individually, if you want to stay up to date with everything.

Feel free to fork or contribute.

Installation

Download the most current release or clone the repository to a directory of your choice.

Setting the environment variable MAYA_MODULE_PATH is the easiest way to integrate the tools into Maya. You can put the path to ml_tools either in the Maya.env file or set a system environment path prior to launching Maya via shell.

In the further examples, we will use /path/to/ml_tools as a path example. You have to replace it by the path you use.

Via shell

Windows:

set "MAYA_MODULE_PATH=%MAYA_MODULE_PATH%;/path/to/ml_tools"

Linux / macOS:

export MAYA_MODULE_PATH=$MAYA_MODULE_PATH:/path/to/ml_tools

Via Maya.env

You will need to edit the Maya.env located in your /maya/version folder. Where is it and how to open it on the Autodesk manual.

Once Maya.env opened, add the following at the end of the file:

MAYA_MODULE_PATH = /path/to/ml_tools
