1. Installation
If 3DELIGHT has been properly installed, the only thing to do in Maya is to load the plug-in. This is done through the following menus:
Window -> Settings/Preferences -> Plug-in Manager
If 3DELIGHT is installed in the default directory, the following path will appear in the Plug-in Manager:
- WINDOWS
C:\Program Files\3Delight\maya\plugins
- MAC OS X
/Applications/Graphics/3Delight-8.0/lib
- LINUX
${DELIGHT}/lib
Check the `loaded' checkbox next to the plug-in file that corresponds to the Maya version running to execute it. The plug-in are named `3delight_for_mayaX.mll' for Windows users, `3delight_for_mayaX.so' for Linux users and `3delight_for_mayaX.dso' or `3delight_for_mayaX.bundle' for Mac OS X users, where X is the version of Maya being used. After this step, a 3Delight menu will appear in the menu bar.
When using Joe Alter's Shave and a Haircut Maya plug-in, you must also load the `3delight_shaveX.mll', `3delight_shaveX.dso' or `3delight_shaveX.bundle', depending on whether the platform being used is Windows, Linux or Mas OSX, respectively; X is the version of Maya being used.
If the path does not appear in the Plug-in Manager, use the Browse button to load the plug-in manually.
