# YanusFACE

## YanusFACE v1.0.0

### Description

YanusFACE is an innovative plugin for Autodesk Maya designed to enhance the workflow with BlendShapes and automate related processes.

### Installation

To install YanusFACE, simply drag and drop the plugin file into your Autodesk Maya environment. Upon installation, a new toolbar named `YanusSTUDIO` will automatically appear.

### Initial Setup

Upon the first launch, YanusFACE will automatically install the necessary libraries and request a restart of Maya to complete the setup.

### Requirements

* Autodesk Maya version 2022.05 or newer for full functionality.
* PyMEL must be installed for proper integration with Autodesk Maya and optimal performance of YanusFACE. For installation instructions, see the [PyMEL Installation Guide](https://help.autodesk.com/view/MAYAUL/2024/ENU/?guid=GUID-2AA5EFCE-53B1-46A0-8E43-4CD0B2C72FB4).
* On older versions of Maya, the BlendShapes generation system will function correctly, but the main model may not fully respond to the BlendShapes.
