Thank you so much. I will definitely have more look into the plugin but I
am just starting with maya python api so I doubt that I will be able to
spot the bug. I will definitely do what you suggested.This plugin spits out
2 errors, 1 is script editor which looks like
msvSimImport -masFile "D:/test_crowd/crowd/sim_test.mas" -simType "amc"
-simDir "D:/test_crowd/crowd/sim" -callsheet
"D:/test_crowd/crowd/callsheet.cal" -loadGeometry 1 -loadSegments 1
-loadMaterials 1 -skinType "smooth" -animType "curves" -materialType
"blinn" -instanceSegments 1 -frameStep 1 -cacheGeometry 0;
# Error reading AMC file: D:/test_crowd/crowd/sim/female.1.amc
# Error reading simulation: D:/test_crowd/crowd/sim
and another in output window, which looks like
Could not find maya.utils._guiExceptHook.

This error only shows up with this plugin, I tried other python plugins but
they work fine. Would you be able to tell if there is any problem with the
search path ?
thank you so much for your time. I will keep posting on how it goes. :)
kind regards,
sumit
