Orodruin Maya

An Orodruin implementation for Autodesk Maya.

⚠⚠⚠ Orodruin is NOT Production Ready but more of a Proof of Concept at this point.⚠⚠⚠

Prerequisites

• Poetry must be installed.
• Python 3.7+ must be installed.
  If you use pyenv, run pyenv install 3.7.9 and poetry will pick up the proper version automatically
• Orodruin must already be cloned.
• The Orodruin Editor must be cloned as well, next to the orodruin repository.
• The Orodruin Node Library should also be cloned and registered (see repo readme)
  This is not strictly necessary but without that, you won't have any node to create

Installation

• Clone this repository next to orodruin's repository (this is mandatory, poetry uses a relative path to orodruin's folder to use it as a dependency.)
• cd in orodruin-maya
• Run poetry install to create a new virtualenv and install all the dependencies.
• Register the Maya module. This can be done in one of two ways:
  1. Add /path/to/orodruin-maya/modules to the environment variable MAYA_MODULE_PATH (at a system level or in your Maya.env)
  2. Move the file /path/to/orodruin-maya/modules/OrodruinMaya.mod to C:/Users/<username>/Documents/maya/modules (on Windows) and edit its content like so:

     + MAYAVERSION:2022 OrodruinMaya any /path/to/orodruin-maya/
     scripts: scripts
     

• Open the orodruin editor with the following snippet:

  from orodruin_maya.ui.editor_window import OrodruinMayaWindow
  OrodruinMayaWindow.open()
