Layout

TiPiT has a layout on Maya Composer as the below figure. In a swatch window, a spidery mesh and a preview are created by TiPiT and are displayed. Just now, there are a spidery-mesh and meshes of two regions in the swatch window of the below figure.

In a flow-graph, there are icons indicating TiPiT and four input images, and lines connecting from an output point to an input point of each icon are inserted by an user operation. In the below figure, there are lines that the output point of each icon for four input images connects to one of some input points with TiPiT icon.While, TiPiT is an event having nine inputs and an output.

In an event editor, event parameters registred by TiPiT are displayed. If you need only functions in TiPiT v1.0, you may very little care the parameters.

In the right end of selections for a toolbar of Maya Composer, there is a item "Tipit". The selection of the item provides two buttons of "Import TIP" and "Export TIP" for TiPiT. However, They are effective, only while a event editor of TiPiT is opened.

Then, TiPiT appends ten buttons in a toolbox of Maya Composer. These button are shown, while the event editor of TiPiT is opened. These button in the toolbox provide mode selections for a editing mode, a camara movement and so on by mouse operations on the swatch window.
