  • In the 'Plug-in Manager' window either locate or search for 'heat_plugin.py'. Check the box for 'Loaded'.

  • HEAT is now installed in your Maya scene and you are ready to start importing animations!

If you would like to have HEAT load automatically every time you open Maya simply click the 'Auto load' check box in the plug-in manager window.
