This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

Install Plug ins?

How do I install Maya Plug ins? Is it a case of drag and dropping it into the maya directory.?

Hi,
Put them in your plug-in directory. and then start Maya up and go to

WINDOWS>SETTINGS/PREFERENCES>PLUG IN MANAGER then select the plug-in you installed by ticking the boxes.

Thanks for the response, however i figured that out last night, though the left tick box, i think it the auto load one, will not tick and gives the error message

"The specified module can not be found"

Ahhh,
I think? I may know the problem I think??? there are
"TWO" Plug-in folders. one is usually (On Windows) in
C:\Program files\Alias (or Alias Wavefront) and the other if i remember correctly is in My Documents\Maya ---- So just check that you have the right one....

(Sorry i cannot post path as I'm not at my own PC just now)

Hehe - Just noticed you must live close(ish) to me?

Hope it works for you Scraggy

Yeah, one is called 'plugin' the other 'plug-ins' I'm pretty sure I have the right one as the other doesn't have any *.mll's in the directory, I'm just doen the road from yourself in sunny ol' St Helens.

Hi,
Sunny here too for a darn change!
I seem to remeber this problem from a while back, but I think I had the wrong directory then.
I have PM'd you, in case you are still stuck.

Good Luck Scraggy
