Repository Organization

This repository contains two independent components:

  1. dnacalib C++ library - used to manipulate DNA files
  2. dna_viewer python code - used to visualize DNA in Autodesk Maya

Folder structure

  • dnacalib - DNACalib source code
  • dna_viewer - source code of dna_viewer
  • examples - several Python scripts to show basic usage of dna_viewer and the Python wrapper for DNACalib
  • lib - pre-built binaries for DNACalib, PyDNACalib, and PyDNA
  • data - required DNAs and Maya scenes
  • docs - documentation

DNACalib

DNAViewer

Examples

To run DNAViewer examples, you must have Maya 2022 installed. To run DNACalib examples, you need Python3.

Lib

Lib folder contains pre-built binaries of the DNACalib library for Windows and Linux. Additionally, a Maya plugin for RL4 is also available.

Linux location

You have to copy or create symbolic links for all .so files in lib:

sudo ln -s ~/MetaHuman-DNA-Calibration/lib/Maya2022/linux/_py3dna.so /usr/lib/_py3dna.so

sudo ln -s ~/MetaHuman-DNA-Calibration/lib/Maya2022/linux/libdnacalib.so /usr/lib/libdnacalib.so

sudo ln -s ~/MetaHuman-DNA-Calibration/lib/Maya2022/linux/libdnacalib.so.6 /usr/lib/libdnacalib.so.6

sudo ln -s ~/MetaHuman-DNA-Calibration/lib/Maya2022/linux/libembeddedRL4.so /usr/lib/embeddedRL4.mll

Note: Change the path ~/MetaHuman-DNA-Calibration to where MetaHuman-DNA-Calibration is located.

Data

The data folder contains example DNA files. We provided two MetaHuman DNA files (Ada and Taro, our first Presets).

Additionally, we added gui and analog_gui Maya scenes which are used during Maya scene assemble. Furthermore, additional_assemble_script.py is used to organize objects in scene and connect controls. The ideal setup looks like this:
