Hi,

 

I've been trying to export my groom and I keep running into this error when trying to export. I've double checked documentation and I'm not sure what I'm missing. I've read similar posts where this was the case and the only answer was to make sure I select the hair shape in the operator stack. I've attached an image showing just that. It also shows the maya version, ornatrix version, and script editor output of the export and error. I'm not sure what else to try.

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

Are you selecting the hair shape directly in the hair stack? It is working fine here. Please try again with the latest nightly build(3.1.7.27027 +).

Yes, I select it in the operator stack.

I've even tried in a simple sphere scene.

I'm not sure where to find the nightly build. I'm using windows and the maya downloads page only had a nightly linux version available.

Thanks for the video. I can see the problem, I should have noticed it in the first screenshot. 

The problem is Mesh from Strands. The Export command expects a hair object, but once you apply Mesh from Strands it is NOT a hair object anymore, is just a regular polygon mesh. 

You have to remove Mesh from Strands.

Thanks! That did the trick.
