The Maya engine contains a standard platform for integrating Tank Apps into Maya. It is light weight and straight forward and adds a Tank menu to the maya menu.

Information for App Developers

Context tracking

The Maya Engine will switch context automatically when files are loaded. Whenever a file is loaded, the engine will look at the file, try and resolve a context from it. Since the Maya engine also actively sets the currently shotgun project, this may change when a file is opened.

Maya Project Management

Whenever the Maya engine starts, it will set the Maya Project to point at a location defined in the settings for this engine. This means that the Project may also change when a new file is opened. The details relating to how the maya project is set based on a file can be configured in the configuration file, using the template system.
