I’m trying to load the PVRGeoPOD plug-in for Mac Maya 2017. I’ve put everything in the correct directly and attempted to load through Maya, but get the following error: // Error: line 1: Unable to dynamically load : /Users/Shared/Autodesk/maya/plug-ins/PVRGeoPOD\_v2017.bundle dlopen(/Users/Shared/Autodesk/maya/plug-ins/PVRGeoPOD\_v2017.bundle, 1): Library not loaded: /Users/Shared/qt/4.8.6/lib/QtCore.framework/Versions/4/QtCore Referenced from: /Users/Shared/Autodesk/maya/plug-ins/PVRGeoPOD/QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui Reason: image not found // // Error: line 1: dlopen(/Users/Shared/Autodesk/maya/plug-ins/PVRGeoPOD\_v2017.bundle, 1): Library not loaded: /Users/Shared/qt/4.8.6/lib/QtCore.framework/Versions/4/QtCore Referenced from: /Users/Shared/Autodesk/maya/plug-ins/PVRGeoPOD/QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui Reason: image not found (PVRGeoPOD\_v2017) // What can I do to fix this? ---

Hi Adam, I am sorry that there are still problems on Maya 2017. The documentation is wrong and the path where the plugin should be copied is: /Users/Shared/Autodesk/maya/plug-ins/ Sadly, I have found that the plugin we have released crashes. It was fully tested before release, but I think we might have introduced a bug in one of the last minute re-spins. I am having a look at this now. Thanks. Carlos. ---

Do you have any idea when this will be fixed? Getting Maya files into .pod format on Mac is crucial to our workflow - and suddenly it seems impossible? ---

Hi Adam, I am looking into this right now, but I do not know yet what is the problem so I cannot give you an estimate. I will update you with a new version as soon as I’ve got it fixed. I the mean time, maybe you could export to FBX and from there to POD using our stand-alone exporter. It is not as convenient but it might unblock you in the mean time. Regards. Carlos. ---

Hi Adam, I have fixed this issue. I have tested it on Maya 2017 and it seems fine now. This fix will be in our next release. In the mean-time I have copied it here: [http://cdn.imgtec.com/sdk/HotFix/PVRGeoPOD\_Mac\_REL\_17.1@4745951.tar.gz](http://cdn.imgtec.com/sdk/HotFix/PVRGeoPOD_Mac_REL_17.1@4745951.tar.gz) Regards.

Followed instructions in attached file and although I don’t get any error messages now, the file doesn’t ‘load’ when I click on it in the plug-in manager. ---

Hi Adam, The instructions are correct. Just copy the contents of PVRGeoPOD\Plugins\Maya\2017\OSX\_x86 (PVRGeoPOD\_v2017.bundle and the PVRGeoPOD folder) in /Users/Shared/Autodesk/maya/2017/plugins I do not have any problem loading it. Maya should give you a message if the plugin does not load. What does it say? Thanks. Carlos. ---

Pretty much back to original problem: // Error: line 1: Unable to dynamically load : /Users/Shared/Autodesk/maya/2017/plug-ins/PVRGeoPOD\_v2017.bundle dlopen(/Users/Shared/Autodesk/maya/2017/plug-ins/PVRGeoPOD\_v2017.bundle, 1): Library not loaded: /Users/Shared/qt/4.8.6/lib/QtCore.framework/Versions/4/QtCore Referenced from: /Users/Shared/Autodesk/maya/2017/plug-ins/PVRGeoPOD/QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui Reason: image not found // // Error: line 1: dlopen(/Users/Shared/Autodesk/maya/2017/plug-ins/PVRGeoPOD\_v2017.bundle, 1): Library not loaded: /Users/Shared/qt/4.8.6/lib/QtCore.framework/Versions/4/QtCore Referenced from: /Users/Shared/Autodesk/maya/2017/plug-ins/PVRGeoPOD/QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui Reason: image not found (PVRGeoPOD\_v2017) // [b]As mentioned, I’ve gone back to following only your official documentation with this new update you’ve linked to.

Hi Adam, That was my fault. The path to QT was wrong (as before). It works for me because I have QT installed. I have fixed all paths and I have tested it removing the QT installation and now it should work fine for you (fingers crossed). I have copied an new version here: [http://cdn.imgtec.com/sdk/HotFix/PVRGeoPOD\_Maya2017.tgz](http://cdn.imgtec.com/sdk/HotFix/PVRGeoPOD_Maya2017.tgz) Regards. Carlos. ---
