Summary

Thank you.

Do you think it can be fixed quickly please ? (the save and import)

Thank you,

Damien

" I think it should be working, just the some data does not get saved properly (e.g. guide edits)."

But....it will be fixed ?

Because we are validated some hairs with the client and now we need to start to transfer them on animation/lighting scenes....

Just tested, the save/import just doesn't work. We collapse all nodes to have a "simplify" thing, after ---> save groom.

After we re-import and an error appear and nothing happened.

Well, i don't have any messages now but...it doesn't work. When i re-import, the hair is completly differente or i have this :

// Warning: file: C:/Users/damien.SDC/git/8vfxpipe2/softwares/maya/common/plugins/OrnatrixForMaya/2015/win64/1_1_4_9496/plug-ins/Ornatrix/scripts/OxGetTargetStackNode.mel line 39: Please select a single target node //
// Error: Ornatrix: Private\HairTemplate.cpp(434): Assert failed (4): status: (kFailure): Unexpected Internal Failure //

Hey,

Ok i found what is wrong : when you do save groom, it doesn't save any maps connected !

It is possible to fix this please ?

We use a lot of maps (for lengh, curl, frizz) and when export and re-import them, nothing is connected, the value is resetted to a white color.

If this can be in priority please, we are in a middle of a production.

Thank you,

Damien

And i bake the hair (right click, colapse here), i have this error at the import :

Error: Ornatrix: Private\HairTemplate.cpp(434): Assert failed: status: (kFailure): Unexpected Internal Failure

My workflow is simple :

1) The hair artist does the hair on the model (not the rigged model because this is done in parrallel). He saves the groom (oxsave). At the same time, like i said, the rigger  does the rig.

2) When the rig is finished and the hair validated, we transfer the hair (the oxsaved hair) to the rig (oximport)

3) The hair dynamic team does the dynamic on the hair, and export all in abc

But it looks like this is not the good workflow (?). So i want to understand what is the workflow when you have to do the hair on a side, the rig on another side.

But here the problem :

- the oxsaved does not keep connection of maps.

So at the end i don't understand where we have to use the oxsave if the oxsave doesn't save the "exact" state of the hair (? what is oxsave ?). At the end this is better to just do a Maya export, and after Maya re-import and re-connect the hair to the mesh.

I will modified the pipeline to do a basic Maya export/import because, like i say, i don't understand where we have to use oxsave if it doesn't save everything.

Do you have a scene you can share which reproduces the collapse issue?

Currently i can't give the asset (i am in production), and just this character is really heavy (hair, face fur, bear, fur nose, fur ears, fur hand.. + 80 maps 8k tx + vrayFur on cloths.

But really, did you try ?

I just created a sphere, add hair on it, collapse (from the node below the rendersetting node), oxsave.

Create the same sphere, oximport : crash

Hey,

Jut to say : i developped a custom exported/imported for Ornatrix Maya in our pipeline. So now it is working and this is not urgent anymore.

Thank you,

Damien
