Meshy for Maya

Install the Meshy plugin in Maya so you can send models from the Meshy web app straight into your Maya scenes.

---

Before you begin

• Download the plugin, a .zip file, from the Meshy for Maya integration page.

• You need a Meshy account. To send models with the bridge, you need a Pro plan or higher.

Install the plugin

To install the plugin, follow these steps:

1. Unzip the file to a folder you keep. Maya loads the plugin from this location.

2. In Maya, click Windows > Settings/Preferences > Plug-in Manager.

   

3. In the Plug-in Manager window, click Browse, and then select maya_bridge.py in the meshy-maya-plugin folder you unzipped.

   

4. Optional: In the Plug-in Manager, select Auto load for maya_bridge.py so the plugin loads each time Maya starts.

When the plugin loads, a Meshy menu appears in the Maya menu bar. It contains Bridge Panel, which opens the window you use to receive models.
