Hi, quick heads up-
I downloaded the mGear 4.0.0 beta link. When I went to extract the zip file- Norton was flagging a bunch of the .mll files as having âWS.Reputation.1â attached to them.
But when I ran a virus scan on the zip file itself, it didnât pickup any virus. Anyone else having this issue?
*edit: I didnât have this issue with mGear 3.7.11
Hi @JimBhak Thanks for the heads up. I use AVG Antivirus and it doesnât detect anything.
Do you know if is flagging any specific file?
After a little google search, I found this article (a little old) but I think explanatory Norton have got it very wrong with WS.Reputation.1 detection | My Life
Thanks for the reply, Miquel.
Hm, I tried extracting again today, and no errors popped up. Guess they have been whitelisted now. I donât remember all the files that were flagged, but I think âtwistspline.mllâ was one of them. But it didnât cause a warning when I extracted just now. Anyway, thanks for your help!
Thanks for the beta. Can this version 4.0.0 work in maya 2020 in windows 7?
I think I am missing something â when I try to run the guide manager:
\Maya2022\Python37\lib\site-packages\shiboken2\files.dir\shibokensupport_feature_.py line 142: No module named 'Qt
Hah of course, awesome!! Thx Miquel
How do we install the Beta?
Oh sorry let me try that. I had the latest version downloaded prior to this Beta download and it used a drag and drop script!
Thanks,
Matt
I copied the contents over,but when I launch Maya it does not show an MGear menu?
Copied what to where? If youâd like help, you need to include more info in your posts please.
I am sorry if I was unclear. I followed the instructions you sent and I copied the beta downloaded files to
C:\Users\Matt\Documents\maya\2023\modules
Hi, @umibozu,
In the path you have maya/2023/.
I think it should be :
C:\Users\Matt\Documents\maya\2022\modules
or whatever version of Maya you are using
I am on Beta version of Maya so it is actually 2023
Thatâs a bit of a detail to miss⌠
Look inside the platforms folder. Look inside the module .mod file. Youâll see there is no 2023. Which means the module wonât install in Maya 2023. You can attempt to add the 2023 paths to the module. And you will also need to compile the plug-in solvers for Maya 2023.
As of this moment, there is no support for unreleased Maya versions.
If you are going to use beta software (and a beta software inside a beta software at that), you should be willing to roll up your sleeves and do at least a little bit of debugging yourself. Otherwise I simply recommend you do not use Maya or mGear beta versions until they are more tested and complete.
Hello Chris,
Yes well I was anxious to test out Mgear on a personal project and after having lost my academic version a couple of years ago I have been content just sticking with the latest Beta as it rolls out and that has been working fine even in regards to plugins annd 3rd party tools until this permanent jump to Python 3 which is the case now.
I also have a personal home license via work, but I have never bothered to set that up as the Beta works fine and has features that I use quite a bit. I guess Iâll just install my work license and see if I can get the ordinary mGear up and running. I am working on personal film that has a lot of characters and I was really hoping to use Mixamo with mGear so that I could have ordinary rigs that can also accept some mocap for quick animation and crowd character uses.
Hello.
I used mGear4.0.0 Beta1 on Maya2022.1.
When I select mGear > Shifter > Guide Manager, I get the following error.
So, I modified line 42 of \mgear\vendor\qjsonmodel.py as follows and it now works fine.
from Qt import QtWidgets, QtCore, binding.
â
from .Qt import QtWidgets, QtCore, binding.
Is there any other better way to handle this?
