Prerequisites

You can download stable versions in github release or clone the repository.

git clone https://github.com/PiloeGAO/Hestia.git

2. Use the package manager pip to install libraries.

For Python 2.7 [Deprecated]:

pip install -r requirements2.txt

For Python 3.8:

pip install -r requirements3.txt

1. Create a folder “ffmpeg” inside of “./Hestia/core” and copy ffmpeg files inside.

Usage

Start the standalone app with this command:

cd ./Hestia
python __init__.py

To open the browser inside of Maya please add the following lines to your Maya.env:

PYTHONPATH = ;%hestiaInstallPath%\Hestia;%hestiaInstallPath%\Hestia\Hestia\dccs\maya\scripts;%yourVirtualEnvPath%\Lib\site-packages;
