Hello, we recently bought a rigged character from turbosquid for maya and we can make everything a moveable proxy, apart from the head. When we do make the head a moveable proxy we get a mesh export error and the renderer stops which I can only assume is due to blendshapes? we have used a rigged character with blendshapes before in 3dsMax with octane and it rendered with no problems which is annoying :( Also as you can see when we render the character, the smooth mesh reverts to a low poly one? when we disable the smooth properties on the meshes and add them ourselves octane renders them properly, pretty strange :? We'd really appreciate any help

Here is the log from octane.

Do you see the last error about duplicated transform name? If you are sure there are no such girl face transforms with duplicated name in the scene - could you give me the scene to I can reproduce this?..

Hi, thanks for the quick reply :D here is the rigged scene, thank you very much, we tried to change the name but then the blendshapes stopped responding :(

Hi hilby, were you able to figure out the solution to this problem? I am getting the same error when I assign moveable proxy to my character mesh attachments like hair that is parented to a skeleton

Hi Hilby,

Some points to help you out.

1: The smoothing is controlled by Octane:Level. It's under the ExtraAttributes of the shapenode. Viewport smoothing doesn't work with OctaneMaya.

2: Blendshapes and skinned meshes have to be Reshapable Proxies, otherwise they won't move.

3: Octane is pretty picky when it comes to naming. Try to make shure there are no duplicate names in the project. This goes for both shapenodes and transforms (including groups)

4: Try the attached file it should work. ;) You will have to re-assign your shaders though.
