Creating the XGen Archive (Step 1)
...
For rendering a RIB file containing a XGen object with renderdl, you will need to add the path to the XGen libraries that come with Maya to the PATH (windows), LD_LIBRARY_PATH (linux) or DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH (OS X) environment variable. The XGen objects are procedurally generated during rendering, and this operation uses the XGen libraries.
| Operating System | Environment Variable | Environment Variable Example Value |
|---|---|---|
| OS X | DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH | ${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/Applications/Autodesk/maya2015/Maya.app/Contents/MacOS:/Applications/Autodesk/maya2015/plug-ins/xgen/lib |
| Linux | LD_LIBRARY_PATH | ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/autodesk/maya2015-x64//plug-ins/xgen/lib:/usr/autodesk/maya2015-x64/lib; |
| Windows | PATH | C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2015\plug-ins\xgen\bin;C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2015\bin |
