Web Browser for Maya?
Since autodesk took away maya's web browser, anyone know of a pllug in to make one??
I think that ther may be one with the API but it hink that its for executing commands not actually a boriwer that you can get on the internet with.
It's just that I want to look like i'm using maya when i'm really not, you know with one of the 4 panels on the internet and the other 3 with a model loaded and the hypershade open!!
Haha, only joking, It was a great way of having ref open whilst you modeled.

It looks like this was inbuilt into the API for Maya 7 and isnt covered by an mll, h or mel file.
Might be a toughy for you Steve
