Animation and Rigging Tools: FAQ, Known Issues and Feature Roadmap

I’m having a problem where I can’t get the Animation Interface to load in Maya 2014 x64.

I just finished building a new character and all the character creation and rigging tools worked great (in 2014). But now I’m trying to test out the finished character and can’t access the Animation Interface.

I first chose the Add Character for Animation, I selected my character from the popup window and clicked the Add and Close button. The character loads up, but that panel doesn’t close and the Animation Interface fails to load. I then manually try to access the Animation Interface from the menu and get an error in the Script Editor, I’ll paste that down below.

I just confirmed I have the latest scripts from DropBox. I also deleted my Maya preferences to start from a clean slate, but same issue. Any ideas?

OK, that’s our bad. We moved away from 2014 into 2016, so some things have probably fallen out from that. I will update you when that is fixed.
