Hi !
I am following your procedure to render in mental ray (page 18 of 1.5 new features guide).
So I did successfully steps 1-5 from the Preparing in Maya and steps 1-2 from the Render in Maya. However when clicking on Duplicate Meshes and Randomize Texture, I get the error message: Naming error/Please check the naming conventions.
Any idea how I can solve this ?
Thanks,
Laurent

That is almost there!!  because some of your geometry contain "|", it caused by your scene contain some same name in different hierarchy. for example: group|pBox1 |pBox1 Please rename one of the pBox1 to pBox2, it should be OK!! Hope this can help! Best, --Yeah Hi ! I am following your procedure to render in mental ray (page 18 of 1.5 new features guide).

Hi Yeah,
Is there a quick way to identify where this duplication can come from ?
I am using your stadium simplified model, and the amount of objects is huge.
Thanks,
Laurent

Hi Laurent, The duplication is come from Geometry_XXX group under each of agent groups of Miarmy_Contents. if you are going to render huge number of agents by mesh drive, please make sure as simple as possible, it's memory consuming. Mesh drive 2.0 can support a little bit huge agents in scene. Best, --Yeah Hi Yeah, Is there a quick way to identify where this duplication can come from ?

Hello Yeah, Thanks for your clear answer, however I am feeling stupid and sorry to disturb you with some basic question. I found the Geometry_locoman item (not group), but what should I do with it. I attached my scene, would you mind letting me know what I should precisely change or send me the changed scene back ? THANK YOU ! Laurent Attachments:

Hi Laurent, No problem, please put the question any time here Geometry_locoman is a null, I call it a "group" means it can be parent of some other objects. Each Type of agent need geometry in that group and skin to the original agent. here I attached the scene, it can duplicate meshes, hope this can help, Best, --Yeah Hello Yeah, Thanks for your clear answer, however I am feeling stupid and sorry to disturb you with some basic question.
