Maya Math Nodes

Collection of math nodes for Autodesk Maya

Building

To build the library on Windows, clone the repository and navigate to the cloned directory, then run the following commands:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64"

This will generate a Visual Studio solution you can use to build.

To build the library on OSX or Linux use the following commands:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../. -G "CodeBlocks - Unix Makefiles"
make

The build looks for Maya in the default installation directory for each platform, however you can always provide it with a custom path:

-DMAYA_LOCATION=/apps/autodesk/

Likewise, the build defaults to Maya version 2018, this can be changed as follows:

-DMAYA_VERSION=2017

Installation

To install the library on OSX or Linux run the following command:

make install

By default the resulting module gets installed under dist folder in the current source directory.

To make the module available in Maya, add the install location to MAYA_MODULE_PATH environment variable or copy the module to a directory already in the module path.

The install location can also be changed as follows:

-DINSTALL_DIR=/preffered/install/directory

Testing

In order to run the test suite, execute the mayapy interpreter and pass the tests directory as an argument, for example:

/Applications/Autodesk/maya2018/Maya.app/Contents/bin/mayapy tests
