How do I install plugins
I downloaded the MJPoly Tool Plug in and cannot figure out how to install it (never installed a plug in before). I've spent the last two hours reading and searching and I'm still clueless.
I had to download WinRar to unzip the file. It unzipped two files that I don't know what to do with. Please help. |
I think I finally found the answer (in this Newbie forum). I should have come to SimplyMaya.com in the first place.

Nope, still can't do it. After decompressing the zip file, I see two script files. I copied these two files into every script folder I could find (3 in all). I typed the name into the script editor and executed...nothing happened. I tried loading the script and then executing...still nothing happened. I typed the name of the file and executed...nothing. I feel like a complete idiot not being able to figure this out. I could really use some help.
I'm watching this thread so my responses should be quick. |

go here and read the installation section it might help I can tell you though if you install this it can leave a ton of crap (useless nodes behind ) and you might need to also use a cleanup script. copy this into your script editor and then middle mouse drag it to your shelf to create a cleanup shortcut on your shelf. ------------------------------------------------------------------- string $expList[] = `ls -et "expression"`; string $exp; for ($exp in $expList) { if (`objExists $exp`) { if (`match "polySplit[0-9]" $exp` != "") { // get the loop split node string $LSNode[] = `listConnections -d 1 ($exp + ".objectMsg")`; string $mjShape[] = `listConnections -d 1 -sh 1 ($LSNode[0] + ".inputPolymesh")`; delete $exp $LSNode[0] $mjShape[0]; } } }; ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
btw I noticed on another thread that you are using Maya 8.5 and most of mj polytools are inbuilt into maya since version 7 I beleive it was so you don't really need it.
