Hello,
I have been using Maya professionally for 10 years now. This is one of the buggiest pieces of technology I've seen implemented in that time. I absolutely loathe my decison to use this in production for our character's hair. So many different errors pop up with it I can't begin to list them. Here's one of the latest:
// Error: XGen: Bad description name given to iGroom: groom_Navy_Male_04_Hair //
# Traceback (most recent call last):
# File "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2015\plug-ins\xgen\scripts\xgenm\xmaya\xgmExternalAPI.py", line 1658, in igExportMaps
# mel.eval( 'iGroom -xm "%s" -tpu %f -in %d -fx %d -d "%s";' % (fullPath,tpu,instMeth,forceExport,igdesc) )
# # RuntimeError: Error occurred during execution of MEL script
line 1: XGen: Bad description name given to iGroom: groom_Navy_Male_04_Hair
And in addition to that, the UI in the Attribute Editor just randomly freaks out and won't show tabs in the Preview/Output section! It's unreal how buggy this piece of tech really is. I hope you can finally get this sorted out in 2016. I'm on 2015 SP6 and I've almost missed quite a few deadlines troubleshooting this nightmare.
If you have any advice, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Justin
