Hey @RustamTerekhov,
Are you able to provide us a little more info to be able to help you with this?
Could you send the output of:
import sys
print(sys.path)
Have you already tried to uninstall and reinstal?

Hi @JamesPullan
I’m having the exact same issue and error even after a re-install.

I put the plugin on the E drive - the same as my engine installs.

Hey,
It’s most likely that the MAYA_MODULE_PATH system variable is not set.
This needs to be set to the install location you have chosen.
In your example @LeahMcEwen it would be as follows:
Cheers

Thanks James, but no luck on my end, even after a restart and reinstall of metahuman for maya.
I uninstalled the plugin again and removed it from my engine before starting fresh. I then re-downloaded and re-installed to my C drive (just the default). the install automatically created the environment variable but I’m still getting the error (now on the C drive)
// Error: ModuleNotFoundError: file C:/Program Files/Epic Games/MetaHumanForMaya/plugin/MetaHumanForMaya.py line 18: No module named 'qtpy'

Hey, just wanted to add, I think my issue was due to an out dated version of the bridge plugin for mega scans. I deleted that plugin completely from the folder structure and the metahuman for maya plugin is working now.
Thanks again for checking it out, @JamesPullan

I have a similar question. May I ask which specific file directory to delete? Thank you
I have the same problem then I found that the metahuman does not support maya 2026.
I hope the plugin to get update for supporting maya 2026 version

I have exactly the same problem, which Bridge file should I delete?

Sorry, I was testing it in Maya 2026, It works in my old Maya 2022, after uninstalling M 2026. Anyway, I hope you guys can have this for Maya 2026 soon, thanks.
At that point I was tearing my hair out and didn’t write it down!
I think it was in the default Documents folder: C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\maya
It was a friend that helped me find it. I don’t think it was in a specific maya version but it was it’s own folder, maybe in plugins and I just deleted the root folder for Bridge
I followed the instructions above to delete the Quixel Bridge plugin for Maya and reinstalled MetaHumanForMaya. Now it works.
Went through the same. I moved the UE5 engine to the default location and removed the Megascans plugin from Maya and no luck. I get the exact same issue on Maya 2025.3. Pretty frustrating…
Took me a while to figure this one out..
Turns out the automatic install process did not add the variable to maya.env
So, long story short, in your maya.env file, look for MAYA_MODULE_PATH and add it yourself.
e.g:
MAYA_MODULE_PATH=C:\Program Files\Epic Games\MetaHumanForMaya;
That is where the MetaHumanForMaya.mod file the plugin needs lives. Change directories if you have the plugin installed somewhere else.
Note that I added the Environment variable as JamesPullan suggests a couple of posts above. You might or might not need to, I have not checked.
Hope that helped.

Hey there. Would like to confirm and/or ask if sombody has successfuly make it works in maya 2026 on macOs? Tried to play with.env files, and no luck at all. Plugin in not appear in maya plugins
@RustamTerekhov I have the same problem and I found a solution. The problem is in Metapipe for DNA modifications that I used before. Check MAYA_MODULE_PATH in user variables (global system variables) and change “dna_calib” to the correct path. After that you need to find the MetaHuman plugin in the plugin manager, you don’t need to add it manually (this error occurs when you try to open it manually)
