Arnold Procedural loads but doesnt show or render

[RenderQ]

Hi, when I load procedural file it shows in modifier panel but is empty in the viewport. Tried this with my own .ass as well as Arnold tutorial .ass file (soldier model). Using latest max24 and up to date MaxToA.

The Display Mode is set to Bounding Box. What does it happen when you change to display geometry?

[lee_griggs]

Yes, change the display mode as Ciro says. I have had something similar where it is so big that my camera is inside it or that it is off to the side of the camera view.

Are you using the latest plugin?

[RenderQ]

I am on the latest update, I exported teapot as an .ass file and loaded using procedural, set display as shape and still nothing. file is stored on my desktop

[CiroCardoso]

Can you provide de file, for a quick test on my side?

[RenderQ]

try anything, export teapot like me, I even tried with a tutorial scene from arnold docs

Same problem here. See this:

(the soldier_stand.ass file from the Arnold Tutorials)

And finally I've found the reason: It's an old acquaintance: Windows Non-US Regional Settings!!

If you set it to English (US), it works fine!

I've sent a notice to Autodesk Feedback.

Even more strange: an .ass file I created 2 years ago works fine!

[CiroCardoso3v]

That is weird.

On my side it seems to be working properly

[wernienst]

Well, it's definitely a decimal character, not a language setting thing. If I set Regional to German (Switzerland), it works, if to German (Germany), it does not!

[CiroCardoso3v]

That is weird. I am going to report this to the Devs.

Thank you guys for looking into it

EDIT: Solution found, was changing the units system in Windows to English (US).

Thanks guys, I tried changing decimal character in windows from "," to "." and it now loads. I hope devs will catch this at some point.
