Struggling with Maya Rendering on an imported model

Discussion started by nikhilb1981

Hi all..

I recently downloaded a Maya model and re configured all texture file locations. So it shows correctly in viewport but it gives few errors while rendering as below:

Can anyone help me out?

Here is the script editor message:

# Traceback (most recent call last):

# File "C:\solidangle\mtoadeploy\2019\scripts\mtoa\ui\globals\common.py", line 1332, in onCameraChanged

# updateCameras.onCameraChangedAddRemoveCameras()

# File "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2019\Python\lib\site-packages\maya\app\general\updateRenderableCamerasList.py", line 60, in onCameraChangedAddRemoveCameras

# newCameraShapes, cameraToBeRemoved = getAddedAndRemovedCameras()

# File "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2019\Python\lib\site-packages\maya\app\general\updateRenderableCamerasList.py", line 22, in getAddedAndRemovedCameras

# updatedCamerasList = cmds.ls(cameras=True)

# TypeError: Flag 'cameras' must be passed a boolean argument

// Error: argument list must be a tuple //

I am a Blender user, but these error messages have nothing to do with textures.
It seems to be a Python syntax error. Maybe the file you have been trying to render contains embedded Python elements and your 2019 Maya-Arnold combo uses a different Python version, causing syntax mismatch.
As the error seems to be caused by the camera list, you could try to delete every cameras, save the file with a new name, open it, create new cameras and try to render, or
export your model as fbx or obj, create a fresh scene with your Maya, import it back, then try to render.

Maya or Arnold forums could be much more helpful...
