OCDS workaround - objects or material zones not loaded
Posted: Sat Apr 30, 2016 7:15 am
In some cases the OcDS plugin has issues with processes that load or reset geometry in other ways then the standard import or loading options.
examples:
- Import new objects with GoZ from Zbrush
- Convert "Look at my hair" fibers into .obj fibers.
Possible errors as a result of such operations:
- duplicate material zones in the OcDS material tab
- object displayed but no material zone in the OcDS material tab
- object not displayed at all in the OcDS material tab.
Workarounds to trigger the OcDS plugin to check the geometry and material zones are:
A) -> use the Reload options in the OcDS viewport
Reload on demand
Reload forced
Rebuild scene
B) -> save and reload the scene (simple)
- save scene
- new scene (may be optional but might help to clear the cache)
- load scene
C) -> save and reload the scene (extended)
- save scene
- close DAZ Studio
- open DAZ Studio
- reload scene
- - -
-> instead of trying one after the other I often just perform directly workaround C to save some time goofing around because that seems to deal with those cases in which A) and B) would not be enough.
