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

Hi all,

I just tried to activate the Rigging and Animation Toolkit but there was a problem that makes it impossible.

I am using maya 15 with SP4 on windows 7 and the Toolkit from UE 4.5.1 with the latest scripts and fixes from the dropbox provided by in his post in the Unreal forum.

I copied and merged the files from his dropbox with the files provided with the UE 4.5.1 and copied the “userSetup.py” to my maya scripts folder in my documents directory. When I sarted maya I was prompted to search for the “mayatools” folder which I did. So everything works fine till I hit the “save” button, to save the path. As soon as I hit save, maya is going all crazy as you may see in my screen capture.

First I thought maybe maya was kind of “reading informations”, but since it keeps doing this for hours, something is definitely wrong. Maya is not usable in this state so, I had to nuke the connection to the toolkit in order for maya to work properly.

Since I seem to be the only one on the web having this problem, it may rather be a computer or software related problem, than a toolkit related problem. But that`s just an ignorant guess.

I hope something can be done about this, since I used the toolkit before, when I was still working with Maya 14 and I really enjoyed working with it.

First, very sorry for the late reply. It’s been very busy at Epic lately working on our game projects and I sadly got too caught up to remember to come check the forums. Apologies.

As for the issue, I ran into this long ago, and I think it was because I had a userSetup in my documents/maya/scripts folder as well as one in my documents/maya2015/scripts folder. If you have any user setup files in the version specific script folders, try removing those to see if that’s the issue. I hope it is, because otherwise, I have no clue!
