Maya ARTtool OSX: Naming Conflict "Errno 2"

Hi there

I`m having trouble working with art tool in maya on OSX.

When I enter the “Deformation Setup”, I click on “yes” when its me for skinning proxy mesh and then i get an error message:

Naming Conflict

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘/Applications/UE4/UnrealEngine-4.1/Engine/Extras/Maya_AnimationRiggingTools/MayaTools\General\ART\system\’.
Aborting Operation. Please correct naming conflict and try again.

I found path but there is only a .txt file named: “do_not_delete”

Any help is much appreciated

Hey DAkAR,

Thanks for your report! This is a known issue in OSX, and one of our developers is already working on a Mac version of ART that should solve this and other issues with tool.

Best,

Thank you for your reply, I guess I will be waiting then, or might there be a temporary workaround so I could use art tool?

I could try with a student version of maya 15 (using Maya 14 now) and post result here.

Thanks anyway

DAkAR

I would also be interested in a temp workaround.

cheers

Unfortunately, Mac version has been delayed due to crunch on internal projects, though developer in charge is still hoping it will make it in before end of year. You can follow his progress on this forum thread:

Hi, Im using ARTv1 in Maya 2017 student edition and Im having same issue plus a couple more errors as DAkAR posted above back in 2014. Is there a work around this yet?
