Special environment settings for Windows
bifcmd
uses third-party libraries packaged with Bifrost to run.
Add C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Bifrost\<maya_version>\<bifrost_version>\bifrost\thirdparty\bin
to your PATH
environment variable.
If your compound contains USD nodes, add your USD installation directory to your PATH
environment variable as well - for example, as follows:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Bifrost\<maya_version>\<bifrost_version>\bifrost\thirdparty\bin;C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Bifrost\<maya_version>\<bifrost_version>\bifrost\packs\usd_pack\<usd_version>\thirdparty\<usd-usd_version>\bin
Important:
If you have more than one version of Maya or Bifrost installed, set this path in the command window where you will be running bifcmd
. Setting it in your global environment variables can cause a conflict with the other versions of Maya and Bifrost.
