hello
im trying to render bifrost liquid particles in maya using Arnols but am unable to do so because of this error, the script editor says the error is in my liquid shape 1, and i have to convert integers to units (or vice versa) but i cannot find anything within my liquid shape1to fix this.
my script editor:
mtoa.utils.getActiveRenderLayerName()
error -noContext "[BIFROST] Could not find objects in path '/'";
// Error: [BIFROST] Could not find objects in path '/' //
error -noContext "[proc] liquidShape1: error in user init from ";
// Error: [proc] liquidShape1: error in user init from //
arnoldRenderView -mode visChanged;
import mtoa.core;mtoa.core.createOptions() workspaceControl -q -vis "ArnoldRenderView";
// Result: 0
// workspaceControl -edit -cl "ArnoldRenderView";
// Result: ArnoldRenderView // renderer -materialViewRendererSuspend false;
thank you

No cache files.
Bifrost is looking in the folder / and the cache files are not there.
// Error: [BIFROST] Could not find objects in path '/' // // Error: [proc] liquidShape1: error in user init from //
Hi Stephen thank you for your response!
i went ahead and created the correct caches in the cahe folder, but i still seem to be getting the same error.
my timeline is green when i click on "bifrost liquid 1" which i believe means that it is all cached out. im not sure what im doing wrong
i have pasted what my script editor is saying now.
workspaceControl -e -uiScript "arnoldRenderView -mode open" -visibleChangeCommand "arnoldRenderView -mode visChanged" "ArnoldRenderView"; // Result: ArnoldRenderView // workspace -q -rd; // Result: Z:/Maya/projects/lake_test/ // getenv "TMPDIR"; // Result: C:/Users/A00874~1/AppData/Local/Temp // import mtoa.utils;mtoa.utils.getActiveRenderLayerName() # Result: '' # // Result: '' // mtoa.utils.getActiveRenderLayerName() error -noContext "[BIFROST] Could not find objects in path 'Z:/Maya/projects/lake_test/cache/bifrost/lakeTest/bifrostLiquidContainer1/'"; // Error: [BIFROST] Could not find objects in path 'Z:/Maya/projects/lake_test/cache/bifrost/lakeTest/bifrostLiquidContainer1/' // error -noContext "[proc] liquidShape1: error in user init from "; // Error: [proc] liquidShape1: error in user init from //
thank you for your help!
I think green would be the scratch cache.
You want a blue timeline (a user cache).
