install shader

[freudork]

i dont quite the installation doc.

1:
Copy the scripts and all the images.bmp into your script directory
-------
2:
Copy the shelf_metals_presets.mel into your default shelves directory (if you don't have a MAYA_HOME_DIR env variable,
it should be located in C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\My documents\maya\4.0\prefs\shelves)
-------
3:
Edit it (shelf_metals_presets.mel) and replace the string your_script_path by your script path dir.
-------
4:
Open Maya, and copy / paste the line below in the script editor.
source aluPreset; source chromePreset; source copperPreset; source goldPreset; source silverPreset; source steelPreset;
-------

wht is the script folder refer to???? and i also dont quite understand the others......

thx....

It should be in the My Documents folder: Maya/ version/scripts. The version is a folder with the version name (i.e. 2008) All the folders that you need are in the My Doucments/maya/prefs/shelves
Hope this helps
