I`m having problems with materials when I set "image sequence" in the file slot.
The image loads perfectly, but when I enable "image sequence" the image vanishes. The same for Image planes.
I've tried some formats and compressions exportations in After Effects, but none works.
The interesting part: we work with facial mocap capture, and the software (Faceware Analyser) exports any video in image sequences. When I export using Faceware Analyser, Maya reads perfectly the "image sequence" resource.
Could that be some problem with After Effects?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi!
Check the sequence format, for example try frame.001.png instead of frame001.png.
Is there a difference in naming between your Mocap and After Effects sequences?
I checked this before, because in some bug report in Maya 2015, this was a issue.
But yes, the frames from mocap and AfterEffects has the same non-alphanumeric characters (underscore, dots, etc)
Hi!
Are you able to upload a part of the image sequence that doesn't work (3 frames should be enough).
Even 1 image should be enough, i can copy and rename the image.
I solved this mystery, but i`m still confused because the solution is meaningless for me.
I just shortened the file name size (The frame count had 5 decimal places, I cut down to 3)
Someone have any idea of the logic behind this?
Really strange but at least is working 🙂
Thanks for your attention and for your help mspeer (y)
Hi!
It seems that if you don't use an additional "." as separator you have a limit of four digits like "filename0001.jpg"
If you add an additional "." you can have up to 5 digits like "filename.00001.jpg".
I can't find a note about this limitation, so please
report this problem (bug?) to Autodesk.
Help -> Speak Back -> Report a Problem
or
post a new Idea in the Ideas for Maya forum.
You can edit "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2018\scripts\others\getFileSequenceFormats.mel"
to extend the list of frame number padding formats that maya recognizes.
Place a copy in <user>/maya/2018/scripts/ to override the maya install copy.
