Please ensure that you have uninstalled the Quixel Bridge Maya Plugin before loading MetaHuman for Maya. Some details for this can be found in [a related thread](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/metahuman-for-maya-instalation-problem/2540821/12).

Samme issue on my end as well. It worked when it came out. Then an update was pushed out that broke everything. So I did a clean install of UE and maya (2023 and tried 2025). Now I can`t even load the plugin from maya. No quixel, tried defining the variable module etc.
