Python Maya® plug-in to make camera motion capture with VirtuCamera iOS App
How to install VirtuCameraMaya:
VirtuCameraMaya is provided as a Python Maya® Plug-in. The installation is pretty straight forward:
-
Unzip the archive, you can download it from https://github.com/shycats/VirtuCameraMaya/releases
-
Copy the contents of the archive: a folder named virtuCameraMaya and a file named virtuCameraMayaPlugin.py
-
Paste them in one of the following directories, depending on your operating system. If the plug-ins folder doesn’t exist, create it:
Windows: \Users\<username>\Documents\maya\<version>\plug-ins\
MacOS: /Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Autodesk/maya/<version>/plug-ins/
Linux: $HOME/maya/<version>/plug-ins/
Note for MacOS users: If you can’t find the Library folder, it’s probably hidden. You can use Cmd+Shift+. to show hidden files.
- Open Maya, go to menu Windows > Settings/Preferences > Plug-in Manager and make sure virtuCameraMayaPlugin.py is loaded.
Done! you should have a new shelf from VirtuCamera ready to be used.
If you prefer it, you can add the plug-in folder path to the MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH environment variable.
If you want to use the plug-in from the source code, you need to add your own ffmpeg binary, by pasting it in /virtuCameraMaya/vendor/ffmpeg/bin/
