Hello
i have a problem loading Metahuman Plugin for Maya 2024.
I installed the plug-in according the documentation, but Maya is unable to load.
I tried to set the system variables and deinstalled QuixelBridge, but it doesent work..

Please can you help here?

i am getting an error code in Scripteditor

Got the same thing on 2024. works like a charm on 2025.
I had used 3rd party plugins that used the metahuman dna calibration and it probably overwritten some manifest or maya config file(s). I traced the python code and the library file does indeed have a version number variable.
