it says from the doc
- inside the plugins
- under anim ->enable
- nav to the engine istall location and Engine\Extras\MayaLiveLink
- Unzip it (would recommend doing it to another folder)
- Copy to your version of maya, the install folder, and put it in the plugins folder (if you have maya open will need to turn if off for it to detect the plugin)
- enable the plugin in maya
- to do so, in maya
- windows(from the top bar)
- settings/preferences
- plugin manager
- and find the live like plugin in there,
- if you don’t see it you will need to browse for it, as it don’t always auto detect it
- then after that, hit auto-load and loaded (as if it don’t autoload the next time, might have to do it once or twice, which is a maya thing)
- You will see it kick in at the mel scrip console line.
- then in UE4 ->menu bar-> window->live link
- add → message bus source -? maya live link
- and the live link on maya should turn green
- Now your playing with fire.
well they talk about it here being (as from the doc), download and in the engine files some where.
