mGear 5.0.7 Menu Missing in Maya 2025

#1

Hello mGear friends.

So after finding out that support for maya 2020 is R.I.P :stuck_out_tongue:

I was going to test all the new stuff in mGear 5 with maya 2025, but sadly i’m having some install issues.

Mainly that the mGear menu is just NOT THERE. (i still have my old shelves and short cuts and when i press on the “Shifter Guide Manager” it still pops up, but the actual mGear menu is gone)

Any way to get it back?

i also have this bit of a warning after my install i do not know if it is relevant.

Failed to execute: C:/Users/Hobbz/Documents/Megascans Library/support/plugins/maya/7.2/MSLiveLink/userSetup.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2025\Python\Lib\site-packages\past\builtins\misc.py”, line 154, in execfile

File “C:/Users/Hobbz/Documents/Megascans Library/support/plugins/maya/7.2/MSLiveLink/userSetup.py”, line 8, in
import pymel.core as pm
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘pymel’

Thank you all

The issue is clearly stated in the last line of the stack trace. It appears that the Megascans library requires PyMel. Pymel can be installed for Maya 2025.

Open a command line and set the working directory to your Maya bin folder. Then type these commands.

cd “c:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2025\bin”

mayapy.exe -m pip install pymel

Hope this helps.

Hello, soooo after i opened the command line,
(Windows, RUN , CMD etc)

then i copy and pasted the 2 lines you wrote. I’m assuming when you said :
“set the working directory to your Maya bin folder.”
thats what your first line of code was meant to do right?

cd “c:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2025\bin”

So then i ran the 2nd line it seems to have worked. But now i get this error :

And why is this thing still looking for pyMel? i thought the new mGear didn’t need pyMel anymore.
Again, coding is NOOOT my strong suit… T_T

Thx for all the help

OK so i NUUUKED all version of maya i had on my PC. and did a clean install.
And everything works just fine…

still curious to know what the issue was though.

The error seems to be from MegaScans. This doesn’t seem related to mGear.

Yeah, this was never a mGear issue. As I mentioned, it’s a Megascans problem. If it was affecting the boot procedure of mGear, I don’t know. It shouldn’t have, but who knows.
