Installation
1. Code and help installation:
Make sure the environmental variable HOME is set on your machine and copy the mt_tools folder there. You can check if it is set by opening a shell and typing echo %HOME% if you are using Windows. On Linux type echo $HOME.
On Windows you can set an environmental variable using the Control Panel. On Linux, depending on the shell you are using you can add an entry to ~/.bashrc or ~/.cshrc
On Windows XP %HOME% is My Documents
On Windows 7 (and Vista?) %HOME% is C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents
On Linux $HOME is ~
Set 2 more environmental variables:
MAYA_HOME should be set to %HOME%\maya if you are using Windows or $HOME/maya if you are using Linux.
MT_TOOLS_HOME should be set to %HOME%\mt_tools\src if you are using Windows or $HOME/mt_tools/src if you are using Linux.
2. Houdini shelf installation:
Copy shelves/default.shelf to your $HOME/houdiniX.Y/toolbar/, where X.Y is your Houdini version(9.5 or later).
3. Maya shelf installation:
Copy shelves/shelf_MT_tools.mel to your $HOME/maya/$version/prefs/shelves/ folder.
For example, on a Windows 7 machine having a 64-bit installation of Maya 2012, this directory would be C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\maya\2012-x64\prefs\shelves.
4. Nuke custom toolbar installation:
Copy shelves/menu.py to your .nuke directory (or add its code to your existing .nuke/menu.py file). On Windows 7, the .nuke folder is in C:/Users/%USERNAME%
