A set of rigging and asset creation scripts.
You will need Maya or Unreal or Houdini to run Vetala. It is also possible to directly from PySide. Currently Vetala works best with Maya. Other platforms are really early work in progress.
- Download from git to the path of your chose.
Vetala works with older and newer versions of Maya but is less tested. Maya 2022 and 2023 are the most tested. Python 2 should be working in older versions, but Vetala is currently most tested in python 3.
- In Maya in Python add the path to the sys.path. For example:
import sys
sys.path.append('C:/vtool/python')
- launch the ui by running the following:
from vtool.maya_lib import ui
ui.tool_manager()
The Unreal implementation is still fairly buggy compared to Maya.
- Install PySide 2
- pip install directly to your install of unreal. In a command prompt/shell, e.g.:
"/UE_5.0/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/Python/Win64/python.exe" -m pip install PySide2 - If you are working at a studio you may need to install pyside separately. If you have python 3.7 installed separate from Unreal, pip install pyside 2 to that python and then source it in your Unreal project. Search for python in your project settings and add your python site packages
/Python/Python39/Lib/site-packagesto the Additional Paths.
- pip install directly to your install of unreal. In a command prompt/shell, e.g.:
- Add your vetala install path to your project python settings. Search for python in your project settings and add the python folder of the vtool package. E.g.:
/dev/git/vtool/python - launch the ui by running
from vtool import ui
ui.process_manager()
