Mender- maya for blender =BLENDER 2.6 ONLY=

CLICK DOWNLOAD TO GET MENDER
======================================

Do you know how to use Maya? Are you having trouble transitioning to Blender? Look no further!

Mender is a little project I wanted to start: Offering the world of budding 3D artists the freedom of Blender with the base usability of Maya. Throughout using Blender, I've built up a UI that, whereas it might not be a functioning replica of Maya, offers the same basic workflow. I have also swapped camera and transform controls over to their Maya equivalents, so you will not have to learn a new camera system when using Blender for the first time.
======================================



======================================
MENDER FEATURES:

- Maya camera and transform controls
- Maya 2011/2012 color scheme for background, 3D viewport, button selection, edges, vertices, and faces
- Maya 2011 3D view camera FOV
- Re-arranged UI to resemble Maya's workflow, including a thin timeline and debugger on the bottom of the screen
- Extra "Render" layout for Cycles node building and rendering
- Knife tool bound to K (imitates Split Polygon tool)
- CTRL + LMB deselect
=======================================



=======================================
HOW TO INSTALL:

- Go to [link] and download Blender if you haven't already
- Click "download" on the side of this page to get the Mender .rar archive
- The next folder we're going to use is hidden by default in windows, so go to "Organize -> folder options", click on the "view" and select "show hidden files and folders"
- Extract the contents of the Mender rar archive to C:\Users\YOURUSERNAMEHERE\AppData\Roaming\BlenderFoundation\Blender\2.66\config
- Windows will ask if you want to overwrite the existing files. Click "move and replace".
- That's it! fire up Blender and experience a more Maya-like workflow!
- If you see an empty 3D view window on the right, instead of the toolbar like in this screenshot, hover your mouse over that viewport and press T.
=======================================


If you or someone you know can script in Python, or have any other improvements for Mender, please add and share alike. I would like to see Mender become a new secondary option for people who are accustomed to Maya.
