Hi @hitecom8172 

This script is very old so it may be having compatibility issues.

That said, did you paste the file into the proper scripts folder? Also, when you run the code is it giving any errors? If so what errors are showing?

Hi @hitecom8172 

I just tried this on 2019 and had no issues.

Make sure to paste the script and the python file into the scripts folder usually found at Documents\maya\2019\prefs\scripts

Once in Maya, open the script editor and run the name of the script which is:
vraytuner

Hi there,

I tried doing what you said and placed the script in the scripts folder but nothing happened.

// Warning: Line 7793.35 : Redeclaration of variable "$myDC" shadows previous declaration at line 7450. Previous value will be overwritten by explicit initializer.

nothing shows up maya 2018.5 i don't know what's wrong here.

Oh god i am such a huge idiot!!!!!!

This is  what I was doing wrong :-

1. not place the scripts in the scripts folder.

2. Open the script editor and try executing the open script

All i had to do to fix this was :

Open a new mel tab and type the name of the script.

How can i be so freaking dumb!!!!!

Thank you sean for helping me recollect on how to do such a simple thing.
