Maya submitter plugin

Maya plugin node to set up task dependency sunmissions.

Install from PyPi

NOTE: If you'd like to contribute or develop templates, skip to Install from GitHub section

Install the latest version.

pip3 install --upgrade cwmaya --target=$HOME/CoreWeave/maya

Then setup the Maya module.

python3 $HOME/CoreWeave/maya/cwmaya/post_install.py

Install from GitHub

git clone [e-mail]:ConductorTechnologies/cwmaya.git
cd cwmaya
pip3 install --upgrade -r requirements.txt --target=$HOME/Sandbox/maya
python3 $HOME/Sandbox/maya/cwmaya/post_install.py

Open the Plugin Manager and load CoreWeave.py.

To set up a job, choose CoreWeave->Storm Window from the main Maya menu bar.

Install the Desktop app

The desktop app is a standalone application that allows you to visualize graphs created by the Maya plugin. It is not required to submit jobs, but it is extremely useful.

To install the desktop app in development mode, go to the repo and follow the instructions in the README.

Alternatively, go to the releases page and download a build for your platform.

NOTE: Some M series Macs may have trouble running prebuilt versions of the app. If it doesn't work, you can run your own build, or work in development mode. See the README for details.

Usage

• To learn the system with a fake job, see the busywork tutorial.
• To learn about writing templates, see the template docs.
• For a comprehensive reference, see the reference documentation.

Have fun!
