- Close Maya
- Unzip Folder
The first thing to do, and it might sound a bit obvious, is to unzip the file you just got. - Copy Files
Place the “cosmos” folder in Maya’s script directory. Normally it’s here:
Windows Vista and Windows 7
\Users\<username>\Documents\maya\scripts
Mac OS X
~<username>/Library/Preferences/Autodesk/maya/scriptsLinux (64-bit)
~<username>/maya/scripts
If you have issues finding the script folder, run the following command in Maya as mel:
internalVar -userScriptDir - Add startup-command
Add the following line to your userSetup.py in the “scripts” directory:
import cosmos
(If it doesn’t exist, use the one from the unzipped folder, or create a new blank text file with the above text) - You are ready to roll!
Next time you start Maya you should be able to activate Cosmos with the shortcut:Windows CTRL + TAB Linux CTRL + TAB Mac SHIFT + TAB
Ps. You can, of course, add Cosmos to whatever shortcut you want with the following code in the hotkey editor:
cosmos.start()
If you still have questions, email me and I help you get it up and running 🙂
