won't open project file, gives error message

[Anonymous]

I can't get any of my projects to open. See screen shot for just one of the error messages.

Hi @Anonymous

Thanks for posting! The error on the bottom (yellow) is referencing the Arnold Plug-in. Looks like your scene may have some Arnold nodes that require this plug-in to be loaded. If you haven't done so in a while, I would update your Arnold plug-in here (you can use your Autodesk Login to sync with Solid Angle and get access to their downloads).

Once that is updated, you can check that the plug-in itself is loaded in Maya by navigating to the Plug-in Manager:

Windows > Settings/Preferences > Plug-in Manager > mtoa

Let me know if that works 🙂 If the problem continues, I'd be happy to try a couple more things until we get it figured out!
