Bake selected geometry not applying displacement

[thedanwright]

Hi Guys,

a feature I use often is the Bake Selected Geometry when using a displacement map on a ai.standard material.

Tis may be the first time Ive used it in my new 2022 version of Maya but it's not working, i can see it in Arnold view but the geometry being exported is flat as a pancake with only the extra iterations created.

I can't thin of any plug-ins it might need and I haven't deliberately turned anything off.

On this line I opened up an old scene which had previously correctly output displaced geometry and even that doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Just downloaded and ran it in a 2019 Maya and it works fine...why oh why?

Just tried to bake a displacement... no displacement on the OBJ also

Hi,

i think I had to roll back Arnold to the previous version to get it to work, then it worked fine.

Give that a go

Maybe, but then something else doesn't work (e.g. Render Sequence). It cannot be that with every new Arnold version something old no longer works.

It was odd but it fixed it for me, render sequence also works for me with my current setup.

I'm currently running maya 2022.3 with  mtoa bundle  4.2.4 on a 2012 PowerMac spoofed to think it's a 2019 so I can run MacOs 11.2.3.
