Options

Scenes

Specifies the directory used to save scene files. This directory normally contains only geometry information, unless you instruct Maya to put all of the information on the file into this subdirectory. You can also use this text box to enter search criteria for scene information.

Project Data Locations

Specifies the directories for files containing project textures, lights, source images, images, and render scenes.

Data Transfer Locations

These locations specify the paths to the directories containing files in formats that may require conversion.

NoteThe location directories can be expanded using plug-ins. Each time you add a plug-in, the New Project window displays the addition. You can then specify the path to the plug-in’s directory.

NoteIf you leave a text box blank, Maya does not create a subdirectory. If you create a scene using an unspecified project setting, Maya saves the information in the project location directory.
