I was excited to finally get aquire Ornatrix V2 today but noticed that I was unable to render with Vray for some odd reason. I keep getting (Error: line 1: Unable to dynamically load : C:/Program Files/Ephere/Ornatrix for Maya/2017/VrayOxHairMaya.mll) in the Script Editor. Thanks in advance

BTW, I'm using Vray 3.6.. Hope Ornatrix V2 supports 3.6

Oops, nevermind. I scrolled through the forums and found the solution

Mel Command: OxAddStrandOperator "" "RenderSettingsNode";

How did you manage this with the Mel command?

The VrayOxHairMaya.mll of 2.2.9 trial for Maya 2018 seems to support only Vray 4.x and not 3.x.

Are you using an earlier Ornatrix version or is it different for Maya 2017?

 

 

You have to disregard VRayOxHairMaya.mll and use the mel command to generate a RenderSettings operator. You can't render with Vray if you use the ChangeWidth operator. Luckily they are both the same exact thing so you won't be sacraficing anything using the RenderSettings op.

Copy OxAddStrandOperator "" "RenderSettingsNode";  in your script editor and it'll appear in your operators stack

I see. I thought that the loading error was fixed somehow.

I still hope VRayOxHairMaya.mll gets fixed to work with any vray version.

 

 

Hi guys,

As Gcrout1030 said, you need to replace ChangeWidth with RenderSettings operator. This error only happens because ChangeWidth is a new operator that is not retro-compatible with VRay 3.6, is only compatible with VRay Next.  VRay 3.6 is expecting RenderSettings, that's all. You are not missing anything from ChangeWidh and this is not a bug. This is documented here: https://ephere.com/plugins/autodesk/maya/ornatrix/docs/2/Change_Width.html
