Maya Icons

Hey, for those of you who like to work on Macs like myself and can’t use the script that shows you where all Maya’s icons are, I have not only found them but converted all of them into tiffs, so you can actually view the icons in Finder without having to use Gimp. It’s nothing big but its something that has been bugging me for a while. The icon names are all the same as used in Maya only thing you have to do when you want to use them is change the extension to xpm instead of tiff.

When you use the symbol button command all you have to do is add .xpm and it will show. Because all of the icons are already part of Maya’s environment so you don’t need to add the file path or any of that jazz, regardless of what operating system you are using.

symbolButton( image= aimConstraint.xpm)

I hope some people find this as useful as I do. If not now perhaps in the future.

ICONS!!!

People like to use Maya on Macs? That sounds like pure craziness. I have, however, heard that since Maya 2011 uses QT it’s much more universal across all 3 OSes.

Once you’ve had Mac, you never go back! Trying to work in Windows is like banging rocks together for me anymore :frowning:

In Maya 2011 all the icons are .png

Is there such a book i can get for Maya where it explains what all the icons mean and what to do with them?

Thank you

Is there anyone who can give me advice on how i can learn and find info on Maya? I’m a beginner and would love get as much help as possible on working with Maya.

Thank you

there are plenty of books… but honestly it would be pointless… the best way to learn anythin is to jus test it all out and play wit it…

Thank you so much!

Wish me luck!!

:D:
