Problem

Description:

Hello, when adding MoovPhysics I get this error and the node doesn't work:

// Error: Ornatrix: Could not load Moov library from C:/Program Files/Ephere/Ornatrix for Maya\bin\ //
// Warning: Ornatrix: Moov Physics engine not found; python script will not be executed //

Windows 7, Ornatrix-Maya-2-2-5-17764-win64

Also, I have a graphics card with a listed Compute Capability of 3.0 but I am still getting this error when adding the Dynamics node:

// Warning: Ornatrix: Cannot start Cuda driver. Please make sure you have a CUDA device selected in Lucid's Global Settings dialog. // 

I hope you can help. Thank you,
Sam

 

Steps to Reproduce:

Hello Sam,

I just tried on build 18232 and Moov is working fine. Can you please try the latest nightly build?

About the Dynamics operator, this node is not under development anymore, is has been deprecated and Moov should be used instead. If you still want to use it, try updating your graphic drivers.

I just tested 2.2.5 stable on a clean Windows 7 with Maya 2018, Moov loads fine.

There must be something wrong with your installation. Are you installing the MSI or manually the ZIP archive?

Thank you both for looking into this. I am running the MSI we downloaded at work. My own ephere account on your website is only downloading the latest DEMO build, which is also adding an disfunctional MooV node. I am using a remote license server and all else seems to be working fine. The contents of this folder are the same at work and at home: C:/Program Files/Ephere/Ornatrix for Maya\bin\ //  But all works fine at work... Is it strange that the path to the files has forward slashes and then back slashes in the error line from Maya? Thank you for your help.

I tested 2.2.7 Demo with Maya 2016 and 2018, no problems.

Which is your Maya version?

If you want, we can try to dig deeper to resolve this. You'll have to try various things; we better switch to e-mail.

Thank you Ivan, I appreciate the efforts. You guys are the best. 

I talked to my tech guys at the office, and the next step would be to delete any remaining files after the uninstall. Apparently, some files can remain from old installs, and I went as far back as the Beta for Maya so who knows, I might have had an install on my machine at home from 2014 or so... They will also download the non-demo version of the latest build and hopefully this will be it. Feel free to email me at the address under my account.

Thank you,
Sam
