Fusion Version and Menu Issues

I’m trying to setup a Fusion Studio workflow with the Fusion add-on, and I’m having some issues with the most recent Fusion version and the AYON menu.

I have this setup:

And I get this message launching Fusion Studio 19.0.3:

“Fusion version information not found in System settings.
The key field in the ‘applications/fusion/variants’ should consist a number, corresponding to major Fusion version.”

If I lie and put 18 for the variant name and label, it opens up. BUUUUT the AYON menu with “Ayon Menu” and “Install PySide 2” menu items don’t do anything.

Doing this on a Mac with Python 3.10 with PySide 6 and OpenTimelineIO installed. Appreciate the help!

This was actually fixed just recently, see here: Allow a Fusion 19 variant to launch by BigRoy · Pull Request #27 · ynput/ayon-fusion · GitHub

I’ve just made a new release of ayon-fusion. It should appear on the AYON addon market shortly. There is some caching involved so it may take some time to appear, you can also download it manually from the ayon-fusion releases page, specifically 0.3.0 should have the fix.


However, this is interesting:

If I lie and put 18 for the variant name and label, it opens up. BUUUUT the AYON menu with “Ayon Menu” and “Install PySide 2” menu items don’t do anything.

Because I believe that should’ve worked because it ends up using the same environment variables internally.

What does your Fusion environment configuration look like in ayon application settings?

Can you confirm that in Fusion you’re able to open the Console and run a python script in the Py3 tab?

OK, I’ll make sure the fix has come through.

As for the Py3 tab, it works when I launch without AYON, but never with the AYON launcher, no matter what variable I use for FUSION_PYTHON3_HOME (including deleting the variable altogether). I’ve tried using the path to different conda installs, the official Python installation, no path, all with no success.

I’ll maybe keep messing with it. Or just use Nuke.

Ah - I’m pretty sure it doesn’t work with the anaconda python bin - but only using your system python. This is more of a Fusion thing really.

You might be better of checking the We Suck Less forum and ask there how to configure Fusion to use Anaconda Python on a Mac: We Suck Less - Home
