pxrUsd Plugin fails to load in Maya 2020

[Akhilesh09]

initializePlugin function failed (pxrUsd)

Is there any more information available here?

During initialization, the pxrUsd plugin sources Mel script files and imports Python modules:

maya-usd/plugin/pxr/maya/plugin/pxrUsd/plugin.cpp

Line 85 in 8510159

status = MGlobal::sourceFile("usdMaya.mel");

maya-usd/plugin/pxr/maya/plugin/pxrUsd/plugin.cpp

Line 110 in 8510159

MString attribEditorCmd("from pxr.UsdMaya import AEpxrUsdReferenceAssemblyTemplate\n"

So this can happen if not all of your path variables have been set correctly. If you use the module file(s) included in maya-usd, this should be taken care of for you:

Converted to discussion for now, since there isn't anything we can act on.
