Animation with disabled Additive Layer Tracks fails to cook

anonymous_user_cd7f7734 · November 30, 2017, 7:00pm

An animation was imported into our project that contained Additive Layer Tracks that weren’t needed so the artist disabled the curve in editor. This caused cooking of that asset to result in a UAT error:

The curve data from the source control diff :

Hi,

Do you also get the same results if you import the animation without the curves? Does this also happen with the curves enabled?

-Thank you

anonymous_user_cd7f7734 · December 5, 2017, 10:11pm

If the animation is imported without curves at all, it works fine.
If the curves are enabled, works fine.

If the animation is imported without curves, empty curve is added then disabled but not deleted, then it also works fine.
We’re using FBX 2016/2017 that is included with Maya 2017 Update 4, using the Game FBX Export tool to export.

Ridley_R · December 6, 2017, 6:30pm

Hi,

Thank you for the info. Would it be possible to get a test asset you are experiencing this with as well as your exact repro steps? This will allow me to reproduce the issue on this end and bug it if it is one, as well as find what may be causing it.

-Thank you

anonymous_user_cd7f7734 · December 6, 2017, 8:43pm

How would you prefer I deliver the files since it needs to be done privately, according to our Legal Team?

Ridley_R · December 7, 2017, 11:24pm

Hi,

You can send me a stripped down version of the project(any assets that you have having this problem with, etc.) with your repro steps privately here. Once you send it to me, or if you have any questions let me know on this thread and I will take a look at it.

-Thank you

anonymous_user_cd7f7734 · December 8, 2017, 12:28am

Sent a uasset that should be exhibiting the broken behavior on cooking.

Ridley_R · January 4, 2018, 6:30pm

Hi,

I am unable to use the uasset that was sent due to if that is imported alone into the engine(since it is only the animation) the mesh and skeleton are no longer “there”. I will need the FBX or the skeleton and mesh uassets with it(These can also be inboxed). I’ve posted a screenshot below to better illustrate it on my end(excluding the name of the file/details etc.)

-Thank you

Ridley_R · January 9, 2018, 8:51pm

Hi,

Due to how long this thread has remained inactive, I will be closing it out for tracking purposes. If you have any other questions or more information regarding the issue, feel free to reopen this thread.

-Thank you

I’m struggling with the same problem too, is there a way to fix this? I need the animations to work with their transformed curves.

anonymous_user_cd7f7734 · July 19, 2018, 7:02pm

We were experiencing an issue when the animation had been exported with empty curves that were then disabled, but not deleted. As far as I know, given a curve, this works just fine. Or delete the empty curves, don’t just disable them.

Walid_Chekkouri · July 19, 2018, 9:09pm

Do I do that to all my animations? and how can I delete the empty curves, how can I know if they are empty or not?

Walid_Chekkouri · July 19, 2018, 9:11pm

BTW, we are talking about bones transformed in the animations, not the 2d blend animations right?
