Getting this error on maya start up:

"Maya 2020 maya.exe - Entry Point Not Found

the procedure entry point AiArrayGetStr could not be located in the dynamic link library
C:\Program FIles\Ephere\OrnatrixMaya2020\plug-ins\procedurals\Ephere.Ornatrix.ArnoldProcedural7.0.dll"

The plugin loads, i can add add fur to geo but then get this in the script editor when hitting render:

"# Warning: unable to load dynamic library C:/Program Files/Ephere/OrnatrixMaya2020/plug-ins/procedurals\Ephere.Ornatrix.ArnoldProcedural7.0.dll: The specified procedure could not be found."

Maya 2020.4  /  Ornatrix_Maya_2020_4_4.0.1.29231

 

Hi,

What version of Arnold are you using? You need the latest one if you are trying to render Ornatrix hair with Arnold.

That did the trick! Thanks for your help,

Had asssumed Maya updated Arnold when it updated itself. Downloaded and installed MtoA-5.0.0.2-2020 from the Arnold site and now that *dll no longer complains. 

Still having trouble actually rendering with Arnold (no hairs in render unles converting to geo) but if I drop a Redshift shader on the hairs and switch render to RS it works perfect. Probably overlooking something simple. 

It renders fine for me. Makes sure you have the latest version of Arnold and build of Ornatrix(If you want to render with Arnold):

Hi, 

I just can't get rid of this error...
every time i open maya, i have to wait for four seperate popups with the same error, i've been clicking these popups for the last few months, it's driving me crazy..|
I've downloaded the latest build of arnold, I've reinstalled maya 2022, I've downloaded the latest build of ornatrix.. is there anything else I could try ? 

thanks
Andrew

Andrew, Is it still pointing to ArnoldProcedural7.0.dll after updating Arnold? If it is pointing to a different version of the Arnold procedural other than 7.0 you need to find the .dlls and delete them.

You can find them in \Program FIles\Ephere\OrnatrixMayaVersion\plug-ins\procedurals\.
