Fryrender will not load .FRY file generated by

[kevincain]

We have installed the same version of both the Fryrender stand-alone binary and the Random Control plug-in (.mll) for Maya 2009. We can export .FRY files from both machines, but when attempting to load either .FRY file, I receive the following error on one of the two identically configured systems:

 

"Could not load the document"

 

Can anyone suggest what might be responsible for this error?

 

Our little group are experienced Fry users -- we have used Fryrender for many years to render archaeological scenes, such as these images of Chichen Itza:

The Fry details are as follows:

 

Fry Build Date: 4/19/2010

Fry Version: v1.5.00 (x64)

Maya Fry plug-in build: [plug-in: Apr 22 2010 - Engine: Apr 14 2010]

 

Thanks in advance for any help -- we're really stuck.

A side note -- I'm aware that both Fryrender and Maya has been abandoned by Random Control in favor of Arion, which is *not* the subject of this thread. It would be unproductive to enumerate the many reasons why we need to render in the Fryrender stand-alone, but for those who would suggest 'just upgrade to Arion', I did want to say that I've been in touch with the Fry team (including the programmers) for several years and have exhausted every possibility to bring the files into Arion. The lack of Maya support, and our need for animation, require us to use Fryrender.
