Integration

This page will walk you through integrating Pyblish with Autodesk Maya.

Prerequisities

Make sure you have installed Pyblish before continuing.

• See Installing Pyblish

Introduction

The integration comes in the form of a menu-item called "Publish", located directly under File.

Once clicked, it will display a Pyblish graphical user interface.

Installation

Ensure Pyblish for Maya is on your PYTHONPATH and run this within Maya.

import pyblish_maya
pyblish_maya.setup()

You can then show the Pyblish graphical user interface by calling show().

pyblish_maya.show()

Persistence

It is recommended that you allow Pyblish to load upon launching Maya. For this, you have two options.

1. Add pyblish_maya.setup() to your userSetup.py
2. Add the pyblish_maya/pythonpath directory to your PYTHONPATH

(2) You can find your pythonpath directory here:

pyblish-maya/pyblish_maya/pythonpath

As you will find, this directory contains a userSetup.py with the exact same command. Maya will run this upon startup, along with any other userSetup.py available.
