I followed directions and watched the you tube explainer video on how to install the renderer. I drag and drop install.mel into Maya, restart it - but it crashes every time. I am using Maya 2018. What do I do? PLEASE assist.

When viewing the sample test scenes, there are object shadows visible. Adding new objects and new materials to these scenes work fine.

However, whenever I make my own scene from scratch, any materials made do not show shadows, even with the default test sphere. The attached image shows the default test sphere and a plane (same material for both).

Hi there,
Is there version of MNPR compiled for MAYA 2019? If not, is there a way to compile it other than using CMake?

Thanks,

Kent

Hi! I've been running into an issue trying to install MNPR. I drag it into my viewport which worked perfectly. I restarted maya and saw the MNPR shelf added to my shelf library. I click on any of the buttons on the shelf and I'm met with :

import mnpr_runner
mnpr_runner.testScene()

Error: ImportError: file line 1: No module named mnpr_runner

I was wondering what I could do to solve this problem, I'm really looking forward to using this for my project. Thank you!

NOT COMPATIBLE with Maya 2019. Kindly Update. Thank You

can we get a Blender (www.blender.org) version? Thanks

as for Blender, there is still freestyle, but it is mainly for line style (https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/render/freestyle/introduction.html)

thanks

I just noticed you setup CMake already to recompile - I'm trying to recompile for 2019 but I get this error. I've run as admin etc and still the same error. Any suggestions?

Whenever I open the maya Hypershader window, the attributes on mnprMat will be hiden.
Is that a bug or it is set on purpose?
I find it wierd when it happens.
Thanks!

Hello!

I am using this shader in Maya 2018 and having a couple of problems. Mainly I am having trouble with the paint effects. I wanted to manually stylize some of my materials but the changes I make will either a. not stick upon reopening the maya file or b. will not alter the appearance of the model at all. The only one that seems to work consistently is "Pigment turbulence".

I have been working on a couple of different computers and installed the shader on both, however, the problem is consistent across both computers. Any ideas about what could be going wrong?

Another Quick Question: the model fades to white when I zoom out which is a really nice effect but is there a way to make it fade out to a different color?

Thanks,
Rose

Opened up default fruit scene, missing several materials. How do I resolve this?

I directly use in my file path but nothing happens.
Is there a way to use UDIM on mnprMat ?
Thanks!

Hi, I've been having an issue where when I click on the Style presets I'm prompted with this message:

import mnpr_runner
mnpr_runner.openPresets()
SYSTEM CHECK FOR MNPR
-> SYSTEM CHECK SUCCESSFUL

Error: WindowsError: file C:/Users/3d136maheshi/Documents/maya/2018/scripts\mnpr_presets.py line 113: 3

And when I click on the material presets I'm prompted with a similar message:

import mnpr_runner
mnpr_runner.openMaterialPresets()
SYSTEM CHECK FOR MNPR
-> SYSTEM CHECK SUCCESSFUL

Error: WindowsError: file C:/Users/3d136maheshi/Documents/maya/2018/scripts\mnpr_matPresets.py line 374: 3

I've had no trouble with the other important buttons thus far so I was wondering how I could fix this. My only real concern is being able to use the proxy feature, as I can save out styles seperately using the preset section in the attributes page.

If you could help me solve these issues or give me a preset file for the proxy so I could turn objects into them I'd be really grateful.

Thank you.

I drag the mel into maya，and it shows compeleted and let me restart maya.But when I restarted,it's still nothing on the shelf,and no mnpr material in the hypershade.Though I can use mnpr viewport,and everything is ok in the plugin-manager.--------Maya 2018 (en_US)

Hi, I have installed MNPR as a module, all looks good, no error that I see. But the renderer does not work as expected. I attach a screenshot, the test scene is all black. I can see the wireframe though. It seems as if the plugin cannot find the shaders. I also tried the install.mel installation but the same, all black. If I orbit the camera the grid acts as a Spyrograph. Those weird lines in the image are the grid.
Thanks for sharing. A pasarlo bien.

I saw this video and there is an Oil Style in it but it is missing in the release. Thanks

请帮忙解决一下这个问题，很急、、、要哭了

MNPR渲染器在Maya实时预览窗口下的效果，和点击MNPR的rendr输出单帧和视频输出的效果不一致

Hi,

Just discover and try your awesome software!

but i dont figure out to render an exr file with what i see in Maya, actually it renders only an EXR with 'colorTarget' though the exr is quite heavy i dont see any other AOV inside (i used Nuke to check)

Also, and as a second request how to render sequence of images, like batch rendering ?

Thank you!

I tried to follow the tutorial and this pop up, the version of my Maya is 2018

Hi !

Just discover and try your awesome software (Thanks for this wonderful software) !

I'm a student in animation and I would like to know how to render EXR with AOV for an animation on maya MNPR (how to render sequence of images) ? Is it possible because I would like to use this render for my degree's project ?

Thanks !
