Unfold3D process error

[staceypeck]

I'm trying to unfold my UV map and I keep getting an error that says "// Error: Unfold3D process error." How can I resolve this?

Ryzen 3990x the same issue. Looks like it needs adaptation

My plug ins are loaded in Maya 2019.  I am still having the error even after unchecking and checking again.  My model has had all history deleted by type and on one layer.  I created my own seams for unwrap but when I goto unfold it throws me the error.  This has never happened before.  I don't know about legacy but it works however I can not unfold the pieces and flatten them in any way that looks correct.

This is NOT fixed in 2020.2

I had to download that fix on page 2 of this forum overwriting the unwrap files.

Autodesk, this is a lame that you would let such an important part of your program (unfolding uvs) be totally disabled / broken for RYZEN users.

There are many  many AMD Ryzen users out there.

Fix this problem.  It make your software engineers look embarrassingly incompetent.

Hi!

Have you set set the environment variable MAYA_USE_ALTERNATE_UNFOLD_SHIM = 1 ?

This is required for Maya 2020.2 with a Ryzen 3900x series CPU.

yup it also works with me Ryzen 7 3700x

Keeping the plugin unchecked worked for me, with a Ryzen 3900

There clearly seems to be a Ryzen compatibility issue here. I'm also using a Ryzen 3950x. Had no problems before using a old Xeon. Doubt this will be fixed anytime soon sadly. 

Unchecking the plugin does nothing.

It seems to only work on very simple geometry. 

[Christoph_Schaedl]

It is fixed in the latest updates. 

[Anonymous]

Can confirm, issue still persists

[Christoph_Schaedl]

Have you set the env variable? 

[pedro_masa]

there is a solution... you need to edit maya.env and add this line.
"MAYA_USE_ALTERNATE_UNFOLD_SHIM = 1"

This seems to have worked!

Thanks for the reply.

Hi, I'm having the process error issue, using an AMD 5600X. Reloading the plugin doesn't do anything. OBJ exporting and re-importing the geometry also doesn't do anything. Using Maya 2019.3.1, all up to date.

Hi,

Did you try editing maya.env and adding "MAYA_USE_ALTERNATE_UNFOLD_SHIM = 1" as described in the other replies and in this knowledge base article?
