Solved: Quixel Colors script for Maya

Bryan3d

I'm running Quixel Colors 1.3 Currently I'm watching the  DDO Painter: Color ID Primer pt.2 and I'm trying to assign color IDs. In the tutorial he is able to select a mesh or sub object and just simply click on a color swatch to assign a color. When i click on the color swatches nothing happens. I've tried multiple meshes, restarting the software, running in admin mode. I can click all the other buttons in Colors such as render but the swatches act as if they are not being clicked. Thanks for any help.

Maya 2014 and 2015
Quixel is up to date as of 2-13-2016

Hey Bryan3D,
Can you open the script editor after clicking a swatch and let me know if it shows any errors?  

Thanks,
Scott.

Hi Sythen

It appears rebooting my computer fixed the issue. I'm having no issues now. Thanks for checking in.

Strange though, I had a Render button and some other stuff at the bottom of the Quixel Colors window and now they are gone.

I'm getting the below error message and the menu on the bottom that contains the render button is gone

>>>Moderator edit: Merged this from a new thread:

My initial problem was that Quixel Colors 1.3  would load in Maya but I was unable to select any colors swatches.  It also had the menu at the bottom of the Quixel Color  window. After a reboot (Not sure if that made any difference) Quixel Colors would load in Maya and now I am able to select the color swatches however the menu has disappeared(See below image). When running the script I am now getting this error message in my Maya command line " # Error: TypeError: file <maya console> line 5: reload() argument must be module "

Hey Brian!

Rename line 5 from Reload(main.main()) to main.main() and you should be good to go!
Maya doesn't include the render bar right now because we're still developing it! Apologies for the inconvenience,

Scott.
