This brief guide will explain how to enable Maya to work in 3D Stereo with the moreStereo3D Software.
The guide is designed to be brief and yet covering all needed steps to enable Maya to work in 3D Stereo. This is a one-time setup and not needed to be repeated once setup properly.

I. Prepare the 3D Stereo Plugin for Maya

1) Please install moreStereo3D and update your Direct-X runtime.

2) Start moreStereo3D

II. Configure the 3D Stereo Plugin for Maya

3) Right click the moreStereo3D Tray Icon (next to your system time) and select “more3D Stereo Enabler”
