Hi Paul, My apologies, you're right, I should have formed a better question with a simple example file but I suppose the heat of production is getting to me, thankfully Ian's answer was the perfect timely alternative. Thanks Ian!
Today I can't replicate the issue, I was hoping to reply with a full example and cut down Maya file. I've opened the same character file, doing the same thing and it's working as expected. It's like when you report an IT problem and when the IT guy stands next to you it's working as expected, oh well, I digress. I've updated the gist with the full code. I've turned down the loop to 1 iteration (line 70) in my testing yesterday it had to be at 50 iterations to be sure it correctly found the UV position. If I do find a repeatable mesh I'll definitely update this thread with examples. Thanks again and thanks Ian -Dave On Wed, Mar 15, 2017 at 5:14 PM, Paul Molodowitch <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi David - a few tips when seeking help on this list: > > - Whenever possible, provide all the code necessary to set up the scene to > test > - Provide all the pertinent code to replicate the problem > - This will generally mean extracting and simplifying your code.
