MayaMan is a plug-in which allows Maya users to render scenes with Renderman compliant renderers. The latest release for Windows x64 (3.0.08) was developed with Visual C++ 2010, so it's important to check if our pc has the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package installed.
The Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package installs runtime components of Visual C++ Libraries required to run applications on a computer that does not have Visual C++ 2010 installed.
The package can be downloaded here.
If we don't have an installer, we have to install the plug-in manually:
- Extract the file wherever you want (ie: C:\Program Files\Animal Logic\)
- Specify some environment variables that affect MayaMan's behaviour. Read here how to do that:
variable name: MAYAMANROOT
variable value: path\to\mayaman3.0.08_64
variable name: MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH
variable path: %MAYAMANROOT%\plugins\2011
variable name: MAYA_SCRIPT_PATH
variable path: %MAYAMANROOT%\mel
variable name: XBMLANGPATH
variable path: %MAYAMANROOT%\mel - Run Maya and load the plug-in.
Best regards.
