三、Distributing Maya Plugins

For example, a fully implemented render utility node will have at least three files:

• the plug-in file containing the node;
• an Attribute Editor script;
• an icon to represent the node in the Create Render Node dialog.

To simplify multi-file distribution, Maya provides the ability to package them into modules.

A module consists of a root directory which contains a module description file and the following sub-directories:

• icons,
• plug-ins,
• presets,
• scripts,
