| Same for Maya 2015 sp6: the dynamics doesn't seem to work. Using Demoversion 1.0.0.8046. |
| This is very disappointing, the only reply after two and a half weeks is another user saying that they have the same problem. I know Marsel has been very busy with the maya version launch, and probably siggraph and all that, but when something as basic as this fails and no replies are given, maybe you need a bit of extra help with the support. |
| Could this be what you are looking for Manuel? This problems stems due to current incompatibility of Ornatrix with Maya's new parallel evaluation mode. Solution - Go to Maya's main menu, Windows, Settings/Preferences, Preferences.
- In the Preferences dialog select Settings, Animation category.
- In the Animation options set Evaluation Mode parameter to DG.

| will try that asap, thanks Marcus |
| Sorry for the delay Manuel. I've been away from the forums a bit for the reasons you mentioned past few weeks. Marcus, thank you for bringing the solution to light. This indeed should fix the problem. Marsel Khadiyev (Software Developer, EPHERE Inc.) |
| I just realised, that the issue is different from my problem, but has to do with dynamics as well. The hair is moving when using dynamics, but there are no collisions with other objects (tried the tutorial: https://vimeo.com/169459655) Is this a Maya 2015 sp6 issue? |
| You're using Dynamics operator, not nCloth to simulate the hair, right? You need to manually add collision objects to the operator. Did you do that? Marsel Khadiyev (Software Developer, EPHERE Inc.) |
| Yes, I added the object (cube) in the collisions section with "add collision mesh". Sometimes it adds the basic mesh, where ornatrix hair is bind to, but I remove that mesh and try again or disable "Auto load select attribute" function in Maya to add the right collision mesh. I know, that it works with Maya 2016, but with Maya 2015 it doesn't. |
| If you're trying to collide with the base object you don't need to add it to the collisions section, instead there's a checkbox for that. Perhaps you can send me a scene showing this problem? Marsel Khadiyev (Software Developer, EPHERE Inc.) |
| Attached a scene, where there seems to be no collision. Thanks for looking into it. |
| Hi Marsel,
finally a have a bit of time to test this. Evaluation mode is now set to DG. I have also updated Ornatrix to 1.0.5.8274 with the zip file on top of the previous installation, and it loads fine on maya but as soon as I load a dynamics node, maya closes immediately. I know it's not the best way of updating Ornatrix, but should it work? Is there any log file I can check? edit. maya 2016 sp5, w7 |
| Hi Manuel, you need to install additional dlls for dynamics to work. I would suggest using the installer. Marsel Khadiyev (Software Developer, EPHERE Inc.) |
| cyrill, using the latest nightly, the scene you attached works properly and the hair collide with the box as it moves through them. Can you confirm? Marsel Khadiyev (Software Developer, EPHERE Inc.) |
| thanks! Which other dlls need to be added for a deployed update? Probably the glew32.dll, and that's it? |
