Enabling the Third-Party Applications

After you've installed Flix 5, you need to set up the third-party applications for Flix 5 to be up and running. The Photoshop, Storyboard Pro, and Maya scripts allow Flix 5 to communicate with Photoshop, Storyboard Pro, and Maya respectively. So these scripts need to be installed on every Flix 5 user's machine.

Note:  To update the Photoshop, Storyboard Pro, and Maya scripts directly from Flix 5, click on the Install/Update Scripts button at the bottom left of the Flix 5 interface and select Install Photoshop scripts, Install SBP scripts, or Install Maya scripts, see Editing in Third Party Applications

Manually Installing Photoshop Scripts

To install the Photoshop scripts, do the following on each artist's machine:

Copy the following folder: [FLIX_ROOT]/flixApp/builds/flix_web.release/plugins/Photoshop/flix to the following location:

• For Windows - Windows: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop [version]\Presets\Scripts

• For Mac - /Applications/Adobe Photoshop [version]/Presets/Scripts

Note:  When you update Flix 5, new versions of Photoshop scripts are created. So we recommend you to install the newly created Photoshop scripts on every artist's machine each time you update Flix 5.

Note:  FLIX_ROOT is the installation location, specified.

Manually Installing Maya Scripts

To install the Maya scripts, do the following on each Flix 5 user's machine:

Copy the following file: [FLIX_ROOT]/flixApp/builds/flix_web.release/plugins/Maya/shelves/shelf_flix.mel to the Maya shelves folder.

Copy the following file: [FLIX_ROOT]/flixApp/builds/flix_web.release/plugins/Maya/icons/flixIcon.png to the Maya icons folder.
