I followed the directions for the Maya install and when I hit execute I received this error.
# Error: ImportError: file C:\Program Files\Quixel SUITE 2.0\colors\main.py line 1: No module named PySide #
This in on Maya 2017.
Please let me know what I need to do to move forward.
Thank you.
Quixel colours for Max 2017, a temp workaround for those having problems:
• Copy the “lib” folder from C:\Program Files\Quixel SUITE 2.0\colors to C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2017\python\Lib\site-packages
• Then copy the “script” folder from C:\Program Files\Quixel SUITE 2.0 to C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2017\python\Lib
Make sure to COPY and not move :)
You should then be able to run the script in Max with no errors!
Same problem with maya 2017 and I cant find a solution.
not working try to setup on maya 2017
import sys
sys.path.append(r'C:\Program Files\Quixel SUITE 2.0\colors')
import main

# Error: line 1: AttributeError: file line 5: 'module' object has no attribute 'main' #
