Hi Jim - Don't know if this has been reported yet, but I first noticed it in 2.15.
If I create a new nHair system, then use the Attribute Editor button to assign a material to it (see attachment), I get an error:
Code: Select all
Error: line 0: The attribute 'octaneGlossyMaterial1.outMaterial' cannot be connected to 'pfxHair1.octMaterial'.
It seems to work if I middle-mouse-drag from the Hypershade to the Attribute Editor, though:
Code: Select all
Connected octaneGlossyMaterial1.outColor to pfxHair1.octMaterial.
Looks like it prefers the "outColor" connection and doesn't like the "outMaterial" connection?

Hi JimStar, thanks for all the hardwork.
I have had to revert back to 2.15 - 6.0 Win for now, the 2.20 version is very unstable on my end. It's failing to render all my scenes created with the 2.15 version. I am looking forward to an update to 2.20

Can't you do this through the Hypershade?
File -> Export selected network... -> export as .ma
then
File -> Import
Or am I misunderstanding what the goal is...

Lets say you made a really cool and complex material in the standalone. Save it your local database.
NO way to get that material/shader into Maya. You could save it to the Network database I guess.... but if you can import from there why can you not import from a local database ?

Oh STANDALONE - missed that part.
Yes, this would be a great feature...

I think the double sided material is in there as the 'Polygon Side'.
hi prodviz, can you please share how it works? do you have an example I can take a look at?

Cool, cheers. I hadn't tested it yet.
