The Anim Layer I have designated for the face controls is crashing my Maya file when loading in the referenced Rig (so I believe at this moment). Cannot delete the layer nor use the Optimize Scene function as both either break the rig or crash the file.
Crashes as both a .ma and .mb file, and had to revert back to Legacy Render in 2022 for the Apollo Rig by Ramon Arango that I am using.
Cannot optimize the rig file to remove metal ray nodes as this breaks the rig as well.
Unsure how to progress further.
