Maya Control Rig problem

[Zoyous]

Hi, I'm trying to get the control rig version 1.6 working in Maya 2015. I've put the folder in the scripts directory, but when trying to start the script, I immediately get the error

# Error: ImportError: file <maya console> line 6: No module named Utils #

Any suggestions? I've successfully used previous versions of the control rig script, but I've got a newer computer now, so I'm getting everything set up again.

hi Zoyous,
The newest couple versions are refactored to be a module instead of a single script - way better for upkeep, but it make the install a bit more of a pain. I'm not sure what state you are in - that error is not the usual one people with problems see, so I'll just start from the top

you need to put the MayaAutoControlRig folder (not the Mixamo_Auto_Control_Rig_v_1_6_0 folder) into your scripts directory.
what directory?? Some folks are having issues with maya not checking all of their script folders.

to ask maya where to put modules: type this in a python tab


import sys
for path in sys.path: print path



it will print a list of all the folders its checking



Once its installed in the right folder, run (or make a shelf button of) Mixamo_Auto_Control_Rig_v_1_6_0.py

that small script imports the module and calls the UI

Hope that helps


fyi - look for an update to the module in the coming weeks
