Mayastar 7.2 Program Files:

MayaStar 7.2 no longer requires PyMel to be installed.  If you are updating or upgrading from 7.0 or older to 7.2 the updating process has changed a bit.  For PC users you must first uninstall 7.0 or older before installing 7.2.  This is due to MayaStar now being installed into its own folder located here C:\Program Files\Mayastar7 instead of C:\Users\user name\Documents\maya\(Version Year)\scripts.  In order to avoid conflict between the MayaStar files in the scripts folder and the new ones in the Mayastar7 folder you must uninstall the old MayaStar files in the scripts folder.  MAC installation and updating has not changed.  For PC I have made two videos going over all this as the installation process is a little bit different between MayaStar for 2014 thru 2020 and MayaStar for 2022 thru 2025.

MayaStar 7 requires PyMEL.  When you installed Maya there was an option to also install PyMEL.  Maya installer has even been known to not install PyMEL even though it had been selected.  If you are not sure if you have PyMEL installed you can download this zip file and extract the “auto_install_pyMel 2024.py” file.  You must extract it. 

Then open your Maya and in the empty scene just drag the “auto_install_pyMel 2024.py” onto it.  The code will run and install PyMEL if you don’t have it.  If you do have it nothing will be installed.  As usual the normal disclaimers apply that you do this at your own risk and we are not responsible for any damages.  I ran this file a bunch of times on my own computer and no harm came to it.  It is very simple code.  You can even open the py file in a word processor and look for yourself.

MayaStar LT Program Files:

MayaStar LT is based on MayaStar 5.21.  I did this to lower the bar of entry for new SL content creators as the price of MayaStar has gone up and up as its capabilities increased with each new release.  The price had to increase to pay for the labor that went into each release.  While MayaStar LT doesn’t nearly have the amount of freatures that MayaStar 7 or 6 has MayaStar LT has the basic features needed to help make rigging clothes and other items way easier than just using Maya alone. 

Mac MayaStar userSetup.mel I accidentally left out you can download it here.  If you purchased MayaStar 5.2 before 10/2/2017.
