After Effects Live Link fail

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello,

 

I just installed Maya 2018 as a trial and I'm using Adobe After Effects 2018 (Version 15, build 180). My problem is the After Effects Live Link is not transferring Maya content correctly at all.

 

I created a new Maya scene, added a Torus, opened Live Link on both programs, and dragged the torus object from the Maya Outliner to the Maya Live Link window.

 

In After Effect some link has been made but it creates what appears to be a 100x100 empty solid. This happens regardless of what I drag to the Live Link window.

 

It appears to only transfer "pTorus_Location" which is also strange.

 

This is very frustrating given my recent experience of instantly and easily working with Cinema 4D files in After Effects.

 

If anyone is willing to help, I'd greatly appreciate it.

 

Thank you!
