You need to have this repository cloned anywhere on your computer. This is the workspace we will be using. Keep in mind that this repository is over 6 Gigabytes!!

Autodesk Maya installed, preferably any version from 2016-2020. You can get Maya for free (legally) if you sign up for a student license.

You need to be able to use the program make to build the models. You can check whether or not you have make already installed by typing make in a command prompt. If you do not have make installed, I recommend installing Chocolatey:

With Chocolatey, you can install make via choco install make in the command line or Powershell.

Lastly, I highly recommend using a build of Panda3D with this commit. This reintroduces the maya2egg server, which would greatly reduce the total time it will take to build all of the models.

• If you do not already have a Panda3D install with Maya support, you will need to either build or install a version with the Maya tools.
• A prebuilt Panda3D binary can be downloaded here which already includes these tools, including the Maya server.
