# DNAViewer
|
|
The [`dna_viewer`](https://github.com/EpicGames/MetaHuman-DNA-Calibration/tree/main/dna_viewer) contains all the needed classes for reading and creating a functional rig in Maya from the DNA file.
|
|
It is organized in a way that allows every option to be configurable, so you can easily get the exact result you want.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
- [Generates rig and export FBX per LOD](https://github.com/EpicGames/MetaHuman-DNA-Calibration/tree/main/examples/dna_viewer_demo.py)
|
|
- [Propagate changes from Maya scene to dna](https://github.com/EpicGames/MetaHuman-DNA-Calibration/tree/main/examples/dna_viewer_grab_changes_from_scene_and_propagate_to_dna.py)
|
|
- [Simple UI](https://github.com/EpicGames/MetaHuman-DNA-Calibration/tree/main/examples/dna_viewer_run_in_maya.py)
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage from code
|
|
There are two [APIs](dna_viewer_api_md):
|
|
- [assemble](dna_viewer_api_rig_assembly_md)
|
|
- [mesh](dna_viewer_api_mesh_utilities_md)
|
|
|
|
The usage of these can be found in the [dna_viewer_demo.py](https://github.com/EpicGames/MetaHuman-DNA-Calibration/tree/main/examples/dna_viewer_demo.py).
|
|
|
|
## Usage in Maya
|
|
Usage in Maya is explained [here](dna_viewer_maya_md)
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Folder structure
|
|
|
|
- [builder](https://github.com/EpicGames/MetaHuman-DNA-Calibration/tree/main/dna_viewer/builder) - Contains the builder classes, which are used for easily adding configuration options
|
|
and building the scene, character, meshes, etc.
|
|
- [config](https://github.com/EpicGames/MetaHuman-DNA-Calibration/tree/main/dna_viewer/config) - Contains classes that represent configuration options. These files are used for fine-tuning the options.
|
|
- [const](https://github.com/EpicGames/MetaHuman-DNA-Calibration/tree/main/dna_viewer/const) - Contains constants files used in the project.
|
|
- [model](https://github.com/EpicGames/MetaHuman-DNA-Calibration/tree/main/dna_viewer/model) - Contains the data classes used in the project.
|
|
- [reader](https://github.com/EpicGames/MetaHuman-DNA-Calibration/tree/main/dna_viewer/reader) - Contains the classes that are used for reading the contents of the DNA file.
|
|
- [ui](https://github.com/EpicGames/MetaHuman-DNA-Calibration/tree/main/dna_viewer/ui) - Contains the classes needed for the Maya UI.
|
|
- [util](https://github.com/EpicGames/MetaHuman-DNA-Calibration/tree/main/dna_viewer/util) - Mostly contains the classes that are wrapper classes around Maya method calls.

The general flow is the following:
