mayapy/maya.standalone error: No object matches name: .aiTranslator

When I run this in mayapy:

import maya.standalone
maya.standalone.initialize()
import maya.cmds as cmds
cmds.file("/Users/Desktop/test.ma", open=True, force=True)

Then I get this error:

RuntimeError: file: /Users/Desktop/dad.ma line 26: The camera 'perspShape' has no '.aiTranslator' attribute.
file: /Users/Desktop/test.ma line 26: setAttr: No object matches name: .aiTranslator

Error reading file.

But when I run this in maya:

import maya.cmds as cmds
cmds.file("/Users/Desktop/test.ma", open=True, force=True)

Then executes just fine.

test.ma is just a new scene with one object in, nothing fancy. For some reason, running this trough the mayapy/maya.standalone I get this error

Solution

  • You probably need to check if mtoa is loaded or not. If not loaded then load it before opening the file.

    import maya.standalone
maya.standalone.initialize()
import maya.cmds as cmds
if  not cmds.pluginInfo("mtoa.so", q=True, loaded=True):
     cmds.loadPlugin("mtoa.so")
cmds.file("/Users/Desktop/test.ma", open=True, force=True)
