Pfx Problem: The Old "getstrokeuvfrompoly"

[plug3]

Hi,

I have been having problems rendering PFX on a network. Even using the pre render script "getStrokes;" some machines render fine and some fail with: Error: Cannot find procedure "getStrokeUVFromPoly".
Rendering locally works fine on every machine.

This is Maya 2008. Any help appreciated.

"getStrokeUVFromPoly" is a mel call (inside "getStrokeUVFromPoly.mel)", which is inside the maya location scripts folder). That it can't find it suggests that there is a problem with the path for the maya script directory from the remote machine. This particular mel call is called when evaluating a pfx stroke on a poly mesh and when creating a pfx stroke with the stroke command.

Thanks for your reply Duncan.

I don't know if it's a maya problem after all. We are using deadline render manager and after telling deadline to ignore that specific error we are now able to render over the network. Even though the error still appears the renders are fine.
