Maya 2024 Looks Promising. Will mGear be available for it like previous versions?

Thanks Miquel

I just saw them, sorry I was looking for a tag or some note but couldn’t find it, I just found them.

I would still like to build the latest for Maya 2023, any chance I get a hand/hint on how to successfuly build for Maya 2023?

Thank you,
Iyad

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Chris! Got it to work via manual installation. Could not pip due to windows permission issues that I couldn’t fix.

These steps do not work for me. They don’t load mgear into the top menu, they don’t load or display mgear_solvers.mll in the plugin manager, and in the script editor python tab “import mgear” does not work

If you can post any errors you’re getting maybe other’s could help out.

Followed all steps by rasputin468

cannot find mgear on python import.

Error: ModuleNotFoundError: file line 4: No module named ‘mgear’

MGEAR installed to C:/Users/USER/Documents/maya/2024/modules

Maya.env looks like this

MGEAR_MODULE_PATH=“C:/Users/USER/Documents/maya/2024/modules”
MAYA_MODULE_PATH= C:/Users/USER/Documents/maya/modules;%MGEAR_MODULE_PATH%

also tried adding slash at the end
MGEAR_MODULE_PATH=“C:/Users/USER/Documents/maya/2024/modules/”

mgear does not show up into the top menu, they don’t load or display mgear_solvers.mll in the plugin manager, and in the script editor python tab “import mgear” does not work

are you copy pymel correct from latest release and use dev verion from github ?!

btw.
is this correct to set maya .env path to ‘MGEAR_MODULE_PATH=“C:/Users/USER/Documents/maya/2024/modules”’ and not to ‘release’ folder ?

It depends how you place the files. The path just has to point to wherever the module is. Where mGear.mod is. If you move the whole release folder into the module path, then you’d have to point to the release folder.

Maya 2024 now runs natively on Apple silicon Macs.

Will mgear support it?

Hello there !

Any ETA for mGear for Maya 2024 ?

We are going into production soon and we need to test it quickly

Thanks
-p-

production

quickly

Those sound like words that shouldn’t be mixed too casually. :slight_smile: In this thread above, Miquel said you can grab the latest commit in the master branch.

But me personally? I’m still sticking with stable configurations. We’re still using Maya 2020 and 2022 on various projects. And two game projects we are still on mGear 3.6.0 and mGear 3.7.11.


Maya 2024 now runs natively on Apple silicon Macs.

@dyf_1998 not sure what you mean. I’ve always had Maya 2020 and 2022 running just fine on Apple silicon. Yes mGear will support it, once the plugins can be compiled. (Assuming someone didn’t do that already.)

Hi!
I’ve managed to get pymel installed and working fine for maya 2024 in linux.
I even manged to get mgear menu appearing and seemingly work, menus and all but seems like solver is not working. I do try to load solver from 2023 so… Is there build for maya 2024 of mgear solvers that works?

“the maya 2024 solvers for windows are already in the github repository :wink:
Having trouble finding those, can you please point out direction? thanks!

Thanks! Found them but now getting this error when I try to load mgera solvers in maya plugins:

// Error: file: /usr/autodesk/maya2024/scripts/others/pluginWin.mel line 316: Unable to dynamically load : /media/Storage/Library/mayalnx/modules/platforms/2024/linux/x64/plug-ins/mgear_solvers.so
// /media/Storage/Library/mayalnx/modules/platforms/2024/linux/x64/plug-ins/mgear_solvers.so: invalid ELF header
// Error: file: /usr/autodesk/maya2024/scripts/others/pluginWin.mel line 316: /media/Storage/Library/mayalnx/modules/platforms/2024/linux/x64/plug-ins/mgear_solvers.so: invalid ELF header (mgear_solvers)

EDIT: nevre mind all works fine, downloaded complete release folder from dev branch and replaced everything and it works now.

Hope I’m not being off topic here but thought I might be able to re-use this thread to post about an issue I’m having with Maya 2024 and mgear. It installs fine and works great, but it disappears every time I close down Maya. The only way I get it to work again is drag-dropping the installer, hitting uninstall and install again and then it appears in the menu. The other odd thing is I don’t see anything related to mgear in the plug-in menu.
Perhaps I’m doing something really wrong, but curious if there is perhaps an easy fix for this.

EDIT: I solved the problem by using the latest version of Mgear and not 4.0.9, thanks

Hi
I’ve tried all the steps above and can’t seem to load mGear.
I also replaced the ‘maya 2024 solvers’
Running:

import pymel.core
# pymel.core : Updating pymel with pre-loaded plugins: mayaHIK, invertShape, curveWarp, hairPhysicalShader, etc.

getenv “MAYA_MODULE_PATH”;
// Result: C:/mgear_4.0.9/release;“C:/mgear_4.0.9”;C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2024/modules;C:/Users/mands/Documents/maya/2024/modules;C:/Users/mands/Documents/maya/modules;C:/Program Files/Common Files/Autodesk Shared/Modules/maya/2024

import mgear
#Error: ModuleNotFoundError: file line 1: No module named ‘mgear’

It seems to open rigs, but the menus are missing.

Did you try the latest version and not 4.0.9?

mGear 4.1 release will be available soon. Meanwhile, you can get the latest hotfix release with support for Maya 2024 in the Tag release section in GitHub:

Thank you so much for your swift response! Using the latest version under the tag release section like you suggested fixed it for me :slight_smile:
