Miarmy Active Geometry Error

[mayavfx]

Hey Guys

I am constantly getting this error whenever I try to send my active geometry to my Original Agent

"Only Support Smooth Skin Cluster, Skip: Geometry Casual"

I use the "Import standard Bone tree" option in Miarmy and then skin the character to my rig using the Skin > Bind Skin > Smooth option in Maya. I am not sure if this is the right approach to use.

Because of this I am unable to complete a large scale scene I am required to produce and thus am becoming increasingly frustrated.

There might have been a a step I missed but I have redone the whole scene multiple times, and followed numerous tutorials but to no avail.

Any help would be gladly appreciated.

I am also sometimes getting an error when trying to setup my scene to use Vray

When I say "Setup Scene" it give me an error that reads

# Error: TypeError: file C:\Program Files\Basefount\Miarmy\maya\scripts\McdRenderFBXFunctions.py line 1300: Object [] is invalid #

Hello,

Thank you for your testing!

I believe both of your errors came from skinning problem,
Would you please send me your file so that we can test for you.


Best regards!

Hi yeah
i downloaded the latest version and tried render again. no luck, still get the empty scene warning.
out of curiosity i tested one of the sample files (ancient battle). and this render also came out empty.
this is the warning i got: # Error: line 0: UnboundLocalError: file C:\Program Files\Basefount\Miarmy\maya\scripts\McdRenderVRFunctions.py line 522: local variable 'globalNode' referenced before assignment #

was also wondering, which version of vray am i able to use together with miarmy ? my version is 2.30

Hello Andrew,

Would you please try to follow our tutorial,

when you click Miarmy > Render > V-Ray > Setup Current Frame, there will be a locator created which name is "McdVRayInfoHost"

And if there is this node in scene, our system won't prompt your error any more.

I hope this is helpful,

Cheers!

Hi Yeah
sorry for the inconvenience
after watching the tutorial today i learned that i had forgotten the first step, copying the vrayGeom dll file to the vrayplugin folder. this did the trick and the rendering is working great.
thanks

andrew.
