old assets cause error.

[stezza]

We use assets that have been around for some time in our work and even though they dont cause any problems with rendering we do get this error

Error: line 1: RuntimeError: file <maya console> line 1: Plug-in, "finalRender.mll", was not found on MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH.
Error: line 1: RuntimeError: file <maya console> line 1: Plug-in, "vrayformaya2008.mll", was not found on MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH.

We ignore this and everything is fine but i would like to know where I can fix this from appearing in the output.

Thanks for any help

Look at the .ma files and remove any lines referring to said plugins.

Hi Vlado yeah i thought that was the thing to do but none of these appear in any form of text in the .ma file.

line 1: Plug-in, "TurtleForMaya70.mll", was not found on MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH.
line 1: Plug-in, "LSH_Animator.mll", was not found on MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH.
line 1: Plug-in, "RenderMan_for_Maya.mll", was not found on MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH.
line 1: Plug-in, "vrayformaya2008.mll", was not found on MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH.
line 1: Plug-in, "TurtleForMaya65.mll", was not found on MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH.
line 1: Plug-in, "mayall_maya65.mll", was not found on MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH.
line 1: Plug-in, "RS_FinalRig.mll", was not found on MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH.
line 1: Plug-in, "finalRender.mll", was not found on MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH.
line 1: Plug-in, "shaveNode.mll", was not found on MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH.

line 1: Plug-in, "VRayForMaya70.mll", was not found on MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH.

If there not in the text file just where are they coming from?
I'm using UltraEdit would a different text editor give different results?

It's not a bug but it's bugging me!

In the .ma file, you should be able to see something like this following towards the start of the file:

requires maya "2012";
requires "vrayformaya" "2.00.04";

and so on. Just delete the lines referring to vrayformaya2008 etc.

There are only 4 instances of require in the scene text
requires maya "2012";
requires "Mayatomr" "2012.0m - 3.9.1.43 ";
requires "vrayformaya" "1.50.SP1";
requires "stereoCamera" "10.0";

But we are using referenced files so ref assets must be causing it when they are brought in at render time not the actual scene file. Maybe?

[vlado]

Yep, you must look at the referenced files as well.
