Revolutionary Features

- Comprehensive Maya Command Validation

- 320+ Maya commands validated in real-time

- Smart typo detection with "Did you mean...?" suggestions

- All Maya APIs covered: cmds, PyMEL, OpenMaya, MEL

- Intelligent fuzzy matching for typos (e.g., setAttrs → suggests setAttr)

- 12 validation types: Missing imports, invalid commands, API usage errors, and more

- Real-time feedback in Problems window before you even run the code!

        Example: Type cmds.polySpere() and the editor instantly detects: "Unknown cmds command: 'polySpere'. Did you                                  mean 'polySphere'?"

Quick Start

Drag & Drop Installation (Easiest)

First Time Setup:

Set your OpenAI or Anthropic API key in Tools → Settings

Open Morpheus chat from the toolbar or View → Morpheus Chat

Start coding - Morpheus automatically sees your code!

Toggle offline mode if you want to work without API connection

Requirements

- **Python 3.8+** (built-in with Maya 2020+)

- **PySide6** (Qt6 framework)

- **API Keys** (optional, for Morpheus AI):

- OpenAI API key (GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini)

- OR Anthropic API key (Claude Sonnet)

Configure API Keys

Launch the editor: python main_window.py

Go to Tools → Settings

Enter your OpenAI or Anthropic API key

Select your preferred AI provider and model

Optional:
Maya Auto-Launch Setup Create a userSetup.py in your Maya scripts folder to auto-load NEO on Maya startup:

"""

Place this file at: C:\Users\<username>\Documents\maya\scripts\userSetup.py

"""

import sys
import os
def setup_neo_editor():
    """Setup NEO Script Editor for Maya"""
neo_path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'ai_script_editor')
    if neo_path not in sys.path:
sys.path.insert(0, neo_path)
        print("[NEO] ✓ Script Editor ready")
    # Create launcher function
    def launch_neo_editor():
        """Launch NEO Script Editor"""
        from main_window import AiScriptEditor
        window = AiScriptEditor()
window.show()
        return window

Morpheus AI Tips

Ask Morpheus About Maya:

"How do I create a sphere in Maya?"

"Why is setAttrs giving me an error?" (Morpheus knows it should be setAttr!)

"What's the difference between cmds and PyMEL?"

"Optimize this loop for better performance"

"What's wrong with my script?"

"Explain this Maya API error"

"Show me how to use shadingNode correctly"

Morpheus responds with:

- Philosophical coding wisdom

- Matrix-inspired metaphors

- Practical Python/MEL solutions

- Maya command validation explanations

- Interactive code blocks you can Copy/Apply/Keep

Example:

You: "Why am I getting 'setAttrs' error?"

Morpheus: "Ah, I see you've encountered a typo in the Matrix. The correct command is setAttr (singular), not setAttrs (plural). Maya's attribute commands use singular form - one attribute, one command. The NEO editor detected this automatically and suggested the fix. Here's the correct usage:

cmds.setAttr("pCube1.translateX", 10)

Remember: Free your mind from typos. The editor sees what you cannot see yet."
