Introduction

Load translators in Maya
                
               
             
             
            
            Installing on different platforms
          
       
       
       
       
      The direct translators
         for games are installed as a standard part of the Maya software
         under devkit/games.
      
      The game translator directory structure is described
         in the following depending on which platform Maya is running. 
      
      NoteIn the following directory locations it
            is assumed that for Windows, Maya is installed on drive C:. If this
            is not the case, change the “c:” references to the drive where it
            is installed. 
         
       
      The translator binary image .lib (Mac OS X),
         .so (Linux) or .mll (Windows) files are in: 
      
      
         - (Linux)/usr/autodesk/maya2009/bin/plug-ins/ 
         
 
         - (Windows) C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2009\bin\plug-ins
 
         - (Mac
            OS X) /Applications/Autodesk/maya2009/Maya.app/Contents/plug-ins
 
      
      The MEL script files used for user options are
         in:
      
      
         - (Linux) /usr/autodesk/maya2009/scripts/others/ 
 
         - (Windows) C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2009\scripts
 
         - (Mac
            OS X) /Applications/Autodesk/maya2009/Maya.app/Contents/scripts
 
      
      To run the translators, the binary plug-in and
         the MEL option files should be all that is needed. If the source
         code is necessary, it can be found under the devkit directory tree:
      
      
         - (Linux) /usr/autodesk/maya2009/devkit/obsolete/games/ 
         
 
         - (Windows) C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2009\devkit\obsolete\games
 
         - (Mac
            OS X) /Applications/Autodesk/maya2009/devkit/obsolete/games
 
      
      These include the following directories: 
      
      
         - MDtApi 
 
         - include 
 
         - vrml2Export 
 
         - rtgExport 
 
         - ge2Export
            
NoteYou must create the lib directory yourself.
                  The lib is not included by default.
