Installation

Gradient Data Manager script for Maya was tested on Maya 2014x64, 2015x64,
but is likely to support Maya 2013 and possibly some earlier/newer versions.

  1. Copy "gradient_data_manager.py" to "C:\Users\USERMAME\Documents\maya\MAYA_VERSION\scripts"
  2. (Optional, icon for a shelf) Copy "Grad.png" to "C:\Users\USERMAME\Documents\maya\MAYA_VERSION\prefs\icons"
  3. (Optional, a shelf) Copy "shelf_GRAD.mel" to "C:\Users\USERMAME\Documents\maya\MAYA_VERSION\prefs\shelves"
    or create a shelf button and use python command:
    import gradient_data_manager
    reload(gradient_data_manager)
    gradient_data_manager.GradientDataManagerUI()

Be Aware

On Mac OS X the above mentioned paths start like this: 
~/Library/Preferences/Autodesk/maya/MAYA_VERSION/ and then same as on windows.
(This may differ depending on Maya and/or OS X version)
