This step is necessary if you want to do any batch rendering with Arnold. Set the environment variable MAYA_RENDER_DESC_PATH to point to the location of the arnoldRenderer.xml file (by default, \server\arnold\mtoa\2023). Set the environment variable MAYA_MODULE_PATH to point to the location of the mtoa.mod file (for example, \server\arnold\mtoa\2023). For example: + mtoa any \\server\arnold\mtoa\2023 When you extract MtoA to a temporary location, clear the Configure MtoA for Maya check box.Ĭopy the MtoA package to the install location (for example, \server\arnold\mtoa\2023).įirst, edit the mtoa.mod file in the MtoA install location and update the path on the first line to match the actual install location. The following instructions assume that you are using Windows, Maya 2023, and that you copied MtoA to the network folder \server\arnold\mtoa\2023. To do this, when you run the MtoA installer, clear the Configure MtoA for Maya check box. This might be useful, for example, if you want to install Arnold across a network. If you prefer, you can extract MtoA to a temporary folder and then copy MtoA package to the install location. You should now be able to render with Arnold. In the Plug-in Manager, click the Loaded and Auto Load checkboxes for mtoa.mll, and then close the Plug-in Manager.Start Maya and click Window > Settings/Preferences > Plug-in Manager.

The installer will auto-detect the installation path.If this happens, click "More Info" and then click "Run anyway" to proceed with the installation.
