What
is the
Maya Web Browser?
The
Maya Web
Browser is a Maya panel you can use to browse Web content. Like any
other
Maya panel, it can be placed in the main Maya window alongside other
panels,
and can be torn off into a separate window.
You
can also
use the Maya Browser to communicate with Maya using MEL commands. To
issue
a MEL command from the Maya Browser, precede it with “mel://”. By
adding MEL links to HTML and JavaScript code, you can design your own
Web
interface for Maya. For example, you can set up multiple controls
(widgets) within HTML pages for easy reference, comparison, or tweaking
of characters, or you can share your custom MEL tools over the Internet.
The
following
links using MEL are examples you could add to an HTML page. Click on
these
links and watch what happens in your other Maya panels.

How
is it different
from other browsers?
The
main purpose
of the Maya Browser is to let you integrate Web solutions into your
Maya
workflow. Although the Maya Browser lets you view practically any Web
content
that is W3C compliant, keep in mind that it is not intended as a
full-featured
Web browser. For example, it cannot create popup windows, so if a page
has a link that creates a new window, that link will not work in the
Maya
Browser.
