Hi Peter,

Thanks for posting the SE details. The error seems related to Bifrost version.
Would you please install the latest 2022.1-based OFM and see if it fixes it?

cheers

I did and actually upgraded to 2023.3 on the Maya end
The plugin and Bitfrost both running OK

Thanks for the reply

Peter

2024:>

I also am curious about any status on a maya 2024 compatible version. I don't usually update maya frequently but there were a few changes I was really excited to take advantage of, and now I am trying to figure out the most efficient dance back to octane. Is there a goal for when this might be available yet?
