Hey guys, I'm trying to run some batch operations in mayapy. I'm on OSX. The
problem is when I when I load one of our scenes, I get an error saying the cgfx
plugin won't load.
The error:
###
Warning: file: /path/to/file.ma line 213: Unrecognized node type 'cgfxShader';
preserving node information during this session.
File read in 0 seconds.
Warning: Errors have occurred while reading this scene that may result in data
loss.
Error: file: /path/to/file.ma line 6: Unqualified video card : Offscreen
contexts not supported. CgFx plugin will not be loaded.
Error: file: /path/to/file.ma line 6: initializePlugin function failed
(cgfxShader)
###
Well that's a bummer. Cgfx is an essential part of our pipeline, and I need to
get data from those materials. The error "Unqualified video card : Offscreen
contexts not supported." doesn't seem to be true, because I can wrap the same
scripts in a mel python command and run them from maya in batch mode. I tried
loading the plugin, but got a similar error.
If I query the type of the node in mayapy, it returns 'unknown,' because the
plugin failed to load.
###
>>> pm.PyNode('material_name').type()
u'unknown'
###
However, if I do this exact same thing in the standalone maya prompt I get no
errors when the scene loads, and I can see that the object is of type
cgfxShader...
###
mel: python("pm.PyNode('material_name').type()")
Result: cgfxShader
###
Anyone know how I might solve or troubleshoot this?
