LiveLink plugin for Maya 2019?

The LiveLinkMaya.zip that came with Unreal has plugins for Maya 2016, 2017, and 2018: Maya 2019 is current: How can I get a plugin for that?

Thanks!

Hi! As was stated in docs, there is no prebuilt binaries for maya 2019, you should buld it yourself from sources. And i did it for Win64. Here is binary and ui script. Your welcome

Thanks : We recompiled it here, but appreciate the help! :slight_smile:

I’m getting this error in Maya-

// Error: file: D:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2019/scripts/others/pluginWin.mel line 289: The specified procedure could not be found.
(MayaLiveLinkPlugin2018) //
// Error: file: D:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2019/scripts/others/pluginWin.mel line 289: Unable to dynamically load : D:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2019/modules/LiveLink/plug-ins/MayaLiveLinkPlugin2018.mll
The specified procedure could not be found.

the LiveLink directory is in the Maya modules directory, and the files are there. I tried putting them in the Maya plug-ins directory, and then they don’t show up in the Maya plug in manager at all. Any idea?

Since the liveLink plugin is already in a module, I added a .mod file with this data so my Maya could see it:

+ MAYAVERSION:2019 LiveLink 1.0 externalMayaTools\LiveLink
MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH+:=plug-ins\2019

Clearly your paths on the first line will be different, but that works for me.

Ok, I don’t mean to be dumb, but this is literally the first time I’ve ever opened Maya.

There is already the LiveLink.mod file in the modules directory, that has this line-

  • LiveLink 1.0 .\LiveLink

I don’t have any 2019 folders in the Maya install, but maybe it’s not obvious to me how Maya reads its directories?

I created a new LiveLink.mod file, only changing your externalMayaTools\Livelink to .\Livelink, but I get the same error.

Yeah, so the way the plug-in came with the .mod file like this:

+LiveLink 1.0 .\LiveLink

Is the only way that the plug in shows up in the plug-in manager. So, it’s reading the plug-in, but there is obviously something else causing the error

Modules are a whole thing unto themselves, I’d encourage you to check out the docs on them for a better understanding of how they work:
