Maya ART Importing Animations Error

Hey
I have been using ART for Maya quite well for the last few months, but it crashed and now is giving me this error message every time i try to import an animation to edit.

Error: RuntimeError: file C:/Program Files/Epic Games/4.5/Engine/Extras/Maya_AnimationRiggingTools/MayaTools/General/Scripts\ART_importMotion.py line 1949: Error occurred during execution of MEL script

line 1: line 1: Cannot find procedure “FBXImportMode”. #

I have up graded it from 4.4 to 4.5 but still have the same problem.

Hi,
Have you double-checked that your Maya fbx plug-in is being loaded? I’ve had instances in the past where that plug-in has stopped loading and it will break importing and exporting from ART (among other things).

You can check this in Maya by going to Window → Settings/Preferences->Plug-in Manager. Make sure fbxmaya.mll is loaded and that Auto load is checked.

Hope that helps!

Thanks that worked.

I’m surprised a crash could turn it off.
