Trying to sort out a ticket regarding greasePencil in Maya 2018. Hopefully someone is familiar with this.
In some scenes, whether drawing new frames, or importing greasePencil the tool kacks out somewhere before the greasePencil node network is built. We get an invalid shader on the greasePencil plane and the screen goes black.
Here is a sample of what the successful greasePencil node network looks like, and the failed node network for comparison
Here is the error log:
// Result: Connected greasePencilShader1.outColor to greasePencilShader1SG.surfaceShader. //
// Warning: Invalid UV map on mesh. Name of invalid object: "greasePencilPerspArtDrawPlaneShape" //
// Error: line 5: Failed to modify grease pencil context //
// Warning: Invalid UV map on mesh. Name of invalid object: "greasePencilPerspArtDrawPlaneShape" //
