Repository

All Maya integration and user-facing tooling is stored in this repository. It's here to better help you integrate and extend the project to fit your specific pipeline, and similar to my other open-source projects facilitate PRs and the opportunity to take matters into your own hands. You've also got access to the commercial website and learning material to facilitate contributions and fixes.

Contributing to Documentation

Alongside the Python package, this repository also contains the documentation for Ragdoll, which you can build and preview locally prior to making a contribution.

From PowerShell on Windows, call each line below.

iwr -useb get.scoop.sh | iex
scoop install python git
python -m pip install mkdocs_git_revision_date_plugin
python -m pip install git+https://github.com/mottosso/mkdocs-material-design.git
git clone https://github.com/mottosso/ragdoll.git
cd ragdoll/docs
.\serve.bat

On Linux, use serve.sh instead of serve.bat

Documentation should now be accessible at http://localhost:8000. Whenever you edit any Markdown document under ragdoll/docs/pages, the website will automatically be rebuilt and your browser refreshed. It might take a few seconds.
