Source Files tgz

The above example shows how we can use the standard export and import functions of maya to allow us to "pull in" animation assest to a scene. The system uses a simple configuration script to load the data. To use the system edit the file in the directory /GP1/GP1SC1 called GP1SC1Config changing the line

SHOWROOT /Users/jmacey/Desktop/Pipeline/GP1/

To reflect the directory where the file has been placed.

Once this is done run the script NCCASceneImport (placed in the GP1/Scripts directory) passing in the full path of the Config file to read.
