Output Settings

Output Mode

Specifies one of two output modes you can use depending on your Toxik setup. The default output mode is Update Toxik.

Export Toxik IMSQ File: Use this setting if you are not running Toxik on the same machine that Maya is running on, you should work in the Save Toxik Script mode; allowing you to save the Toxik script and run it on another machine where your Toxik database resides.

Specify a file name and location in the File Name field.
Update Toxik: Use this setting if you are running Toxik and Maya on the same machine. The Update Toxik mode automatically updates the Toxik database and makes the Toxik composition available immediately. To work in Update Toxik mode, Python 2.4 is required. For more information on Python, see www.python.org.

Specify the location of the Python executable file (python.exe) in the Python Location field.

File Name: Specifies the file name and location for the saved output of the plug-in export results. Only available for use with the Save Toxik Script output mode.
Toxik Location: Specifies the location of the Toxik executable file (toxik.exe). Only available for use with the Update Toxik output mode.
Python Location: Specifies the location of the Python executable file (python.exe). Only available for use with the Update Toxik output mode.
Python Script: Specifies the location of the python script to be used. By default the python script provided with Maya is used. You should only change the python script if you have a custom script for exporting to Toxik.
Python Script Arguments: Specifies any python arguments that you want to use when the script is executed. For example, you can use --verbose if you need to debug, or use --help to get all the available flags. The output of the python script arguments appears in the Maya Script Editor.
