Hopefully someone out there might be able to help.
I’m using UE 5.8 to export a character out to Maya for facial mocap retargeting. Unfortunately it looks like Metahuman for Maya is not compatible anymore with Maya 2022.5.1 The reason I need to use this version of Maya is because the facial retargeting software I’m using is only compatible up to this version.
I’ve tried to install the current version in Maya 2022 and I’m getting the following errors when I try to enable the plugin
Error: MetaHumanForMaya : Library ‘dna’ could not be imported. //
// Error: MetaHumanForMaya : Library ‘dnacalib2’ could not be imported. //
// Error: MetaHumanForMaya : Library ‘rdf’ could not be imported. //
// Error: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2022/scripts/others/pluginWin.mel line 316: RuntimeError: file C:/Users/bryan/OneDrive/Music/Documents/maya/2022/plug-ins/MetaHumanForMaya.py line 621: Plug-in, “cbsNode”, was not found on MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH. //

I believe this has to do with cbsNode.mll not being compatible with my version.
It works fine in 2024 so I constructed the metahuman but when trying to open it in 2022, it doesn’t allow me to point to the .dna file so nothing works.
I know earlier versions of the plugin did work (I had used it before), so if someone has a version that is compatible (like the old .msi version) or a way to make 2022 see the newer metahumans, that would be fantastic.
Thanks in advance
