Can't import external python code in Maya

Anonymous — Thu, 26 Oct 2017 07:41:34 GMT

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to link external python code that contains 'dlib' library to Maya. I've tried the simple import way:

import sys
sys.path.append('D:\Python files\RealTimeTrack')
import landmark
landmark.shape()

but it doesn't work since Maya doesn't recognize dlib library. What should I do in this case? Please suggest and thank you in advance.

Hi,

I don't have this library so I can't test it myself. I guess you should put dll in a path Maya could load. maya\bin should be fail safe most of the time. And make sure it is compiled with the same VS compiler as Maya(2015~2017 VS2012, 2018 VS2015).

Yours,
