importing geometry caches issue

[river bell]

Hi all,

I am trying to import geometry caches on a list of objects.I am exporting these as a single file.

I am not able to use ths command :

    pm.mel.doImportCacheFile(myCache, "", [objs], list())

I get the following error :  Channel names did not match selected objects.

Tried searching the web and have not been able to find a solution.

PS : the cache file loads if i do so manually

thanks 

Warm Regards to all

Take a look at findChannelForObject() in doImportCacheFile.mel. It has a fairly common failure case when matching a channel name from the xml to a mesh in the scene - if the mesh has "..Deformed" on it it can fail. You could try match without the "Deformed" in those cases...

if ($foundMatch == -1) {

    $obj = substituteAllString($obj, "Deformed", "");

    $foundMatch = matchChannelWithoutPreString($channels, $obj, ":");

}

Hi Luke, 

Thanks for chipping in !!

I've already handled the Deformed suffix. 

My char is referenced, will try to import and retry when I reach work.

Has it worked for you ?

Will update here soon. 

Thanks again

Warm Regards

Hi, Luke

Embarrassing as it may be, it turned out to be a double and a single backslash problem.

My path had double backslash, in the peice of code I was trying inside Maya. In my batch it was handled by os.path.normpath and join  functions.

Thanks 

Warm regards
