Maya Animation Layers

NeoReel Download Page - this page tells you everything you need to install it.

If you have problems running it, as I did, simply follow these one-time-only steps;

• Open the script window - Window\General Editors\Script Editor
• type "neoreelLibrary -config" to open the configuration pane
• Under Utilities, check nrToolbox
• Under Animation, check nrLayers
• Back in the script window, type "neoreelLibrary -refresh"
• type "neoreelLibrary -load nrLayers" in the bottom pane and press CTRL+ENTER

That should get them going. If this is the case, you need to type "neoreelLibrary -load nrLayers" every time you run Maya and want to work with Layered Maya files, but that's a small price to pay to have animation layers in Maya.
