Requirements¶
Edition: Core and Pro
Confirmed requirements¶
- Autodesk Maya: the tool imports
maya.cmdsand creates Maya scene nodes. - A polygon mesh selected in Maya.
- Valid UVs on the selected mesh.
- An image file for every Main texture that will be built.
Supported Maya versions¶
Both editions support Autodesk Maya 2022–2026.
| Maya release | Status | Compatibility detail |
|---|---|---|
| Maya 2022 | Supported in Python 3 mode | Do not start Maya with Python 2 mode. |
| Maya 2023–2025 | Supported | Uses the legacy DoubleLinear node names. |
| Maya 2026 | Supported | Uses the renamed addDL and multDL node names. |
| Newer releases | Not yet verified | The code does not claim forward compatibility. |
Texelator uses Python 3 syntax, including formatted strings. Autodesk documents that Maya 2022 supports Python 3 and starts in Python 3 mode by default, while Maya 2023 uses Python 3 exclusively. Maya 2026 renamed the DoubleLinear utility node family; Texelator selects the correct names by Maya version.
The range is code-based compatibility, not a substitute for production-scene validation in every Maya update.
