I am using an older version of Face FX , version 1.7.2.0
and I am unable to open the exporter script on MAYA 2010.
the error message prompted is as follows
// Call the main procedure.
FaceFxMain();
// Error: Cannot find procedure "fxisnosave". //
// Error: Cannot find procedure "fxgetactorname". //
The previous version of Maya I used was 2008, all the scripts etc were copied across from this version to Maya 2010.
IS it because Face FX doesn;t support Maya 2010? ARe there any updated
scripts available?
That error means that the FaceFX.MLL plugin is not loaded. In some cases you can simply load the plugin from the plugin manager, but in your case, you need a new MLL file.
You can use the same MEL script across different versions of Maya, but you can't copy the MLL file from one version to the next. Version 1.7.2 of FaceFX did not have support for Maya 2010 so you will need the latest MLL plugin and the latest script (always make sure the script and the MLL file are from the same version).
The 1.7.x file format has not changed since 1.7.2, so you should be able to use the latest 1.7.x plugin without a problem in your current pipeline, though I would recommend upgrading to the latest version of FaceFX Studio too.
I will follow up on email.
