Ok been using UE4 for a bit and mainly navigating through maya, mainly playing around with the art toolset. Pretty much just trying to rig pre rigged skeletons. Found a bug in my skin weights but when i remove them to add in in art I am actually also missing the paint weight script. I have downloaded 3 different versions of UE4 and even checked the drop boc and cannot find the missing script.
Hey holmes360 -
Can you give me a little more information about how you are dealing with the ART? Are you trying to go back in the Control Rig Creation process to paint weights or are you trying to start the ART using an existing and pre-weighted skeleton? Also I would make a post on the ART forum thread if you have not already, Animation and Rigging Tools: FAQ, Known Issues and Feature Roadmap - Character & Animation - Unreal Engine Forums
Let me know -

just keep getting an error when i try to select the paint weight tool. maya 2014 &2015.
Error: RuntimeError: file C:/Program Files/Unreal Engine/4.6/Engine/Extras/Maya_AnimationRiggingTools/MayaTools/General/Scripts\ART_skeletonBuilder_UI.py line 9973: artAttrSkinPaintCtx: Object ‘ART_artAttrSkinPaint’ not found.
happens no matter what i do. just create dummy skeleton and mesh when i get to deformation setup i get this error and am unable to use the deformation tools.

Let’s try a clean uninstall and re-install of the ART. Remove the Usersetup.py file from the Maya Script directory and open Maya and insure that the Epic Games directory and the ART are no longer available in Maya. Next go into the Extras directory for the ART and delete everything including the root directory under Extras.
Next, re-download the ART from this link, Dropbox - Maya_AnimationRiggingTools - Simplify your life
Place these files in the Extras folder of 4.6.
Re-install the ART for Maya according to the installation instructions and insure that the Tool is installed and the Epic Games menu has returned to Maya.
After following these instructions are you still receiving the error? If so please let me know exact what if any Service Pack you currently have installed in Maya.
Thank You
