hi,
i tried it on maya2011 x64 but i'm not sure which hotfix it was... i'll try it again there and try to reproduce the error.
can you tell me if you were using objects with high polycount?
After your mel snipset, I've managed to get it working.
Objects do collide and collision deformation takes place.
BUT
It crashes on me as well. (2011 Hotfix3, windows7)
The only thing that I did was the following
- Added a simple polysphere (default settings - 400 faces )
- Dublicate the object, setting translate X to 3 (in orde to sepperate them)
- select the both and then execute your script - everything goes fine now
- play arround by moving the secong sphere over the first one (by only translating x so as to get over the first object_.
- things to work for a while BUT after playing around for a while - for no apparent reason- everything crashes!!
Please note that the machine tested is a wild hp z800 so computing power isn't the issue.
I guess there a bug somewhere that makes this plugin unstable.
Any idea ?
P.S. If you feel like it I would be glad to test this and get this bug fixed (just in case you need a beta tester)
Fwiw, ditto everything that TrisTratos said, except I'm still on Vista Pro. same Maya version and hotfix, exact same symptoms. I also have a highed boxxtech machine configured specifically for maya, so system should not be an issue.
I would also be happy to help test. This looks like an awesome plug-in and I'm excited to put it to use.
Hey Guys,
thank you very much for your feedback!
Beta testers are more than welcome since I don't have enough time to test the plugin. (I'm doing it in my spare time and I'm not a professional coder)
However I'll try to reproduce the errors on my machine.
The exception handling in the Maya Python API is kinda annoying, but i think I've to add it.
Let me know when you manage to isolate a specific situation for the crashes, like tristratos, that helps a lot!
All the best,
jan
Same problem here, Maya 2011x64 on Windows 7. I've played around with it a bit, if I run the Python script to apply it line for line, it seemed to work, but after 20 seconds it crashed again.
