Melena 1.4 and Softimage 2012

Post by bottleofram » 28 Mar 2012, 06:37

Hi,

Does anyone know if Melena 1.4 is compatible with Softimage 2012?

When i try to execute Create melena from selection on xsi hair, i get this error:

Code: Select all

// ERROR : Error: The hair needs to be grown of a polygon mesh cluster!
// ERROR : 2008-CUST-apply_nest_hair2curves - Operation was aborted. - [line 85 in C:\Users\<user>\Autodesk\<workgroup>\Addons\nest_melena\Application\Plugins\nest_melena_ScriptedPlugin.js]
// ERROR : 2008-CUST-nest_apply_melena - Operation was aborted.
nest_apply_melena();

I think there's an issue with certain compounds - could try this:

A stupid question maybe but have you created a polygon cluster?

What I meant with my previous post is that you need to emit the xsi hair from a polygon cluster for it to work with melena.
