Advanced skeleton error 18930

[pluski94]

Hello everyone! Im trying to set a face rig with Advanced Skeleton plugin (body rig is fine), and every time I click on "build" I recieve this error.

I don't know exacty what is wrong with the names, so I'm literally stuck here.

Thank you for your time.

Hi!

I'm not quite sure since I have never encountered this exact error, so I'm not sure if this is a name you gave AS or it is a name it came up with from the name of some other object...

But as a general rule, maya object names can't contain spaces.

So instead of naming your object: "head langua dentadurainf dentaduraSup ojolzq ojoDcha cejas" try "head_langua_dentadurainf_dentaduraSup_ojolzq_ojoDcha_cejas"

I hope this helps!

"Head", "lengua", " DentaduraInf", "dentaduraSup", " Ojoizq", "ojoDcha" and "cejas" are different objects, there are no space in the names. No special letters or anything.

Hmm. Thats weird, "Invalid object name" Errors normally only get called on single objects not on multiple ones. And it usually happens if an invalid character is in a string during an operation, such as a space or some kind of brackets.

Could it be the you loaded all your head geometry into your "Face" section instead of your "All Head" section?

As far as I know the only attribute in the "Pre" Section of the AS Facial rig that can take multiple objects is "All Head", all the others will not work with more than one object in them.

That was the first error. I've tried to select everything in "face" instead of "All head", but the same program called an error saying that only one object can be selected, so the " Face" is only the face skin. The rest of objects are in "All head". Thankfully the "?" On "face" shows you an image with only the face itself selected, so that is not the problem.
Thank you for being here trying to help.

Yeah, sorry that I can't be of more help. I tried to reproduce the same error with my AS but I just couldn't.

The only thing that I could imagine helping. Is if you name your facial parts something really generic. Like "Head", "UpperTeeth", "LowerTeeth", "L_Eye" and so on and then reconnecting all the geo again, just in case there is a forbidden substring somewhere in one of your names. But I couldn't spot one while looking at them. So thats a long shot...

Have a nice day!

I'm at home again, I've restarted Maya and now is working... I guess is Maya Magic again.

I'll mark your second answer as valid because it could be a problem for someone else and can be useful.

Thank you again!
