Overview of environment variables |
Environment variables are a useful way to modify the standard path locations and behavior of Maya. For example, you can:
- Set Maya to look in a different directory than the default for custom scripts using the MAYA_SCRIPT_PATH environment variable.
- Point to an area with more disk space so you have enough room for temporary render cache files using the TEMPDIR environment variable.
Many of the variables used by Maya are set automatically when you start Maya.
