Summary
I’ve been developing a custom metahuman in Maya 2023 using Metapipe. I open up an existing Maya file that contains the (working) metahuman and save a new version. Even without making any changes to the file, just saving as a new version, the blend shapes do not get activated by the face board controls in the new version.
Steps to Reproduce
Save new version of Maya file with Metahuman, reopen new instance of new file.
Expected Result
Blend shapes to correctly activate in response to faceboard controls in version save.
Observed Result
I’ve tracked the disconnect down to the embeddedNodeRL4 node. All of the inputs and outputs are still connected in the node editor, and the path to the DNA file is correct. The metahuman’s face joints translate correctly, it’s just the ‘Bs Outputs’ attributes that are not activating in the RL4 node.
Is there a way to reconnect the RL4 node’s inputs into its outputs? Is there an issue with a way that I am saving the file?
Platform(s)
Maya 2023
Additional Notes
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have animators in Maya that need the blend shapes to display properly so they can accurately match the performance reference.
