We have been very interested in using the Ornatrix Maya: Procedural Eyebrow Graft Groom after seeing this video from Ephere on youTube: N59T6Tj8QiQ

However when trying to load the Graft Groom from the Ornatrix shelf, it appears nothing happens and when tracing back through the script editor for errors it seems like there is an issue loading in the eyebrows groom zip file.
// Warning: Ornatrix: [Groom1] Groom file path is invalid: /GlobalPrefs/CURRENT/vendor/MAYA2022/net_modules/_automatic/ornatrix_4.1.8/OrnatrixMaya2022/Grooms/CommonEyebrow.oxg.zip // 

We are loading ornatrix from a server location, the file in the filepath is indeed present and correct.  Is this a known issue in the 4.1.8 version or is there potentially a problem with our installation?


Hi Corin, thanks for the report. This was a packaging issue in 4.1.8 where the graft groom asset (CommonEyebrow.oxg.zip) was not being installed alongside the plugin, so the Eyebrow graft groom had nothing to load. It was fixed in Ornatrix Maya 4.1.9 (released 24 February 2024) and is included in all later versions. Please update to the current release and the Procedural Eyebrow Graft Groom will work. Let us know if you still see the warning after upgrading.
