plugget / plugget-pkgs

Plugget: Plugin Package Manager

Install app packages (plugins, addons, ...) with a single Python command using Plugget.
Or 1-click install plugins in Blender, Maya, Max, Substance, ... with Plugget Qt

import plugget
plugget.install("my_package")

also check out
🔹 Plugget Qt
Plugget Qt Unreal plugin
Plugget Qt Blender addon (more features)
Plugget Blender addon (simple)
🔹 plugget manifest repo
🔹 plugget-qt-maya-plugin A Maya plugin that launches the Plugget Qt UI window

requirements

• pip installed
• git installed (aim to auto handle requirements in future)

not to confuse with

• PluGeth The extensible Geth fork, ethereum, golang
• pluGET A package manager to update minecraft server plugin & software

package manager comparison

PyPi installs only packaged python modules. Plugget supports other languages, e.g. Maxscript, and links to unpackaged repos.

WinGet, chocolatey, etc. install apps, Plugget installs plugins for apps.

manifest repo

• package manifests live in the manifest repo

issues

If the install fails. It likely is a bad manifest, a bad install, or a bug with Plugget. Report the issue in issues. There's a small chance the GitHub servers are down, you can check the github status.

plugget-pkgs's Issues

maya py

python script, need some slight tweaks. https://github.com/Shayen/toolBrowser

substance sample

we don't yet support multi file plugins. some examples below

• https://github.com/prman-pixar/RfSP
• pyplug & js plug https://github.com/Raider-Arts/painter-megascan-link
• plugins & presets https://github.com/emomilol1213/Substance-Painter-DDS-Exporter
• a UI plugin for plugget qt: https://github.com/plugget/plugget-substance-painter-plugin

offcial plugins

• 1 js plug https://github.com/AllegorithmicSAS/painter-plugin-console
• 1 js plug/folder https://github.com/AllegorithmicSAS/painter-plugin-dcc-live-link
• https://github.com/AllegorithmicSAS/materialx_utils
  install steps https://github.com/AllegorithmicSAS/materialx_utils/blob/master/deploy.bat
  • js plug
  • py plug

maya sample

plugins to package for testing.
packing and testing a plugin can take time. so focus is on tools that other people can reuse.
e.g. mimic for robotics is a great tool, but has quite a niche audience.

other

• https://github.com/hannesdelbeke/maya-pip-qt maya plugin
• max payne importer. lots of setup steps. different steps for different OS, could be good sample case for plugget https://github.com/m0nstr0/max_payne_ldb_importer
• syncsketch, larger module. has its own dependencies installer! https://github.com/syncsketch/syncsketch-maya
• syncsketch, old repo, not sure if still used. https://github.com/syncsketch/maya-capture-gui
• small qt widget, script to launch, once plugget actions are supported this is a simple copy paste job https://github.com/MaxRocamora/MayaRenamer can also package as pypackage

favorite modules

• create module yourself, https://github.com/sowwic/ColorOut
• module manager module, could use some cleanup https://github.com/robertjoosten/maya-module-manager
• https://github.com/robertjoosten/maya-quality-assurance

other modules

• module https://github.com/RxLaboratory/Ramses-Maya
• module https://github.com/ue4plugins/MayaMLDeformer
• module with installer https://github.com/NCCA/MayaEditor
• https://github.com/AutodeskRoboticsLab/Mimic
  • contains various things, icons, scripts, ... more of a module than a plugin
• mel creates mod file, and install pip dependency https://github.com/derekpepple/Maya-Video-Player simple plugin, with some py dependencies. code could use cleanup since ui folder is in plugin root
• https://github.com/bohdon/maya-pulse
• https://github.com/yamahigashi/MayaUvSnapshotPlus

other

• lots of small tools in 1 repo https://github.com/dearyangyu/ToolSeq
• some functionality to transfer skinweights https://github.com/jamesbdunlop/maya_pythonplugins
• collection of random tools https://github.com/danbradham/mayakit

script

• https://github.com/retinize/Animotive-Maya-Importer-Plugin , script to show a window. not a proper plugin
• https://github.com/ellisfossettdev/MayaPluginDevelopment/blob/main/cityGeneratorV1.py

other

• complex unload script, not plugin https://github.com/MrJeem/debloat_maya
• maya qt widget to rename meshes, as a py-module. https://github.com/MaxRocamora/MayaRenamer needs packaging in a plugin or py-package
• python script, toolbrowser, need some slight tweaks. https://github.com/Shayen/toolBrowser
• lots of small tools in 1 repo https://github.com/MirageYM/Maya

vague

• seems like private studio module module https://github.com/wildchild-animation/swing
• collection of various things https://github.com/MirageYM/Maya
• poorly named files. not sure what it does atm https://github.com/droposhado/err-maya-plugin
• random maya scripts, no docs https://github.com/nielsvaes/maya_utils

wont do for now

cause they need more work or are not relevant atm

• looks high quality, but needs compiling C++ https://github.com/minoue/miMayaPlugins
• simple plugin, but not packaged cleanly. https://github.com/DaBaptisteFraboul/Maya---Piston-rig-plugin
• need compiling, small plugin https://github.com/rosekelly6400/environment-generator-Maya-plugin, has a cpp file
• Toolbrowser, not packaged. just a qt widget and resources https://github.com/Shayen/maya_devToolsManager
• small tool - frame shot title - plugin with icon dependency https://github.com/astips/maya-plugin-magic-mask
• rizomUV bridge, niche tool, simple script, create window on run. https://github.com/nguyendinhat/Brigde_Maya_RizomUV_MacOS
