Mental Ray Render

[yourarmy]

Hi there,

Thank you guys again for Miarmy!

I'm wondering if you guys could list some possible reasons an agent might not render. ( Using Mental Ray and mesh drive 3.0 )

I am having an issue where some of my agents will render, where others will not.

Some of these agents have multiple parts to them. ( Body, clothes, shoes, etc.)

I get this error in the script editor.

Error: (Mayatomr.Geometry) : MDG_ClothMesh_2_ZombieGirl1Geo12Shape: no material assigned, ignored //

However it only give me the error for one of my agents, there are other agents with no error that also aren't rendering. ( Leading me to believe it's not the issue. )

Things I have tried.

1.Assigning new material. ( Maybe I did the process wrong, are you able to do this by selecting the "active geometry" and assigning a new material? )
2.Deleting some geometry.
3.Fiddled for a couple hours, checked online, admitted defeat and came here hoping you guys might be able to help.

Not sure if this is relevant but I also get this error for a character that is NOT a miarmy agent. ( Doesn't give me any issues though. )

// Warning: (Mayatomr.Scene) : mariacombo1:polySurface182Shape: empty or corrupted UV set map1 detected, ignored //

Hello!

From the error report, I think there are some issues:

1.
Every geometry before duplicate should contain the UV.
If not please assign one to it.

2.
All object need connect the shader by object not faces (one way)
Read more on this link:

3.
Maybe your group some geometry incorrect, please check the random geometry grouping by below link:

If still cannot solve all of your problem, would you please send me your file.
If not convenient in forum, please contact us through [e-mail]

Hi Yeah!

Thanks for the response!

I just sent my file over. I'm almost positive it's #2 that you posted, but can't seem to correct the issue.

Thanks again!

Dear yourarmy,

I believe you meet this issue, mesh drive not support face-assigned or multiple shader on a object.
basefount.atlassian.net/wiki/display/MDE/Mesh+Drive+3.0+Shader+Issue
but I cannot solve it because when I re-assign the shader, it cannot become "pink" link, it's strange,
So I guess unless solve this shader link problem, we cannot use mesh drive 3.0.

In this case, only the mesh drive 2.0 support your needs!!
I tested the mesh drive 2.0, everything will be fine~~ But it cannot save file and go batch rendner -_-||| Sorry about this.

I'll check more in detail later and see why this happen and cannot conver to pink link.

Thank you!
