Q/A

Poor bundle delivery

Date:12/01/2013
Submitted by: raremanone raremanone

The model, textures and animation are very well done. 

However, the delivery of the model package has caused days of difficulty and frustration.

Firstly, the textures are absolutely referenced to at least three locations rather than being relatively referenced:

  • //nonews/w/CG Works/3D Products/Horse/Maya/
  • W:/CG Works/3D Products/Horse/Maya/
  • F:/[CAT]_Mammals/Horse Maya/Horse_MB//

After that, I discovered a few missing files that are being referenced:

  • //nonews/w/CG Works/3D Products/Horse/Maya/Horse_Spec_Exp.png (file127)
  • W:/CG Works/3D Products/Horse/Maya/building_probe.hdr (file218)

Then, even after following all the instructions, it finally opened and renders in Maya 2014 Windows, but crashes when rendering on Maya 2014 Mac.

For an expensive model, being sold to a diverse range of users (not a commissioned work for one user), I found the delivered bundle was quite poorly prepared.

A few suggestions:

  1. Could you please supply the missing files
  2. Could you please give any ideas as to why it may be crashing when rendering on a Mac.
  3. Next time bundle the files so that they are easily adapted to the users system (relative file links).
  4. Avoid custom installed shaders that require manual install in future, or as others have suggested, provide two files – one with custom attributes and a simpler file in standard maya format.

Thanks for your assistance.

    You can get updated versions of Shaders_p at https://www.puppet.su/download/shaders_p_e.shtml

    Sorry for the troubles you are experiencing. Please understand it is very hard to adapt these kind of complex scenes to all different versions and the way each artist uses Maya. Texture files work ok when the files are in the same folder as the .mb files. The textures you mention are not used in the final version of the scene, but in case you need them for any reason you can download them from https://www.dropbox.com/s/cx7pdplcm0i1zfm/Horse_Extra_Textures.zip Although we did not test the scene in Maya 2014 Mac yet, it works ok in Maya 2013 Mac. Are the Shaders_p correctly installed and working ok in your Maya 2014? can you use Maya 2013?
