Hi
I try to use AniSculpt, all work fine until reimport model to Maya, after work in Blender.
The error Maya give me is: Error: Cannot find procedure “importCacheFile”.
I try with Maya 2008, 2009 and 2011, always the same, I would like know how to fix, I would like to use this powerfull tool for animation
Thanks in advance
Damn!!! Same here!! Please anyone knows how to fix this?
I have the same problem, but I find an other solution to do the job.
First install this script :
http://www.creativecrash.com/maya/downloads/scripts-plugins/dynamics/c/maya-to-houdini-particles-mdd-obj-exporter
With this you can export your character with animation as .mdd file and an .obj also.
Then import to blender first .obj and with that selected import the .mdd file. ( go to preferences/import/export/ and select Newtek Mdd and also .pc2 you will need that later).
Now after you done your shape keys in blender export your mesh as .pc2.
As maya has not a .mdd importer I find a great script that can import pc2 files, go there:
http://www.kai-wolter.com/resources/maya/maya_pc_tools
Install that (windows maya 2008-2012, linux and mac 2008-2010)
Then from maya you can import the mesh with animation from blender. Just fix the rotation of the model and also normals if needed.
Anyway I prefer if anyone has a solution for anisculpt btw.
Another solution to import pc2 cache in maya is to convert the .pc2 file to .mc file(maya cache file).You can do it with mel:
cacheFile -pc2 1 -pcf “c:/test/mypc2.pc2” -f “mayaCache2” -dir “c:/test/” -format “OneFile”;
I found out that this error : Cannot find procedure “importCacheFile”.
Resolves itselfs, just import a cache one time in the scene.
after that the function becomes available in maya.
I still have to find another way to initialize this procedure trough code.
