I have studio library installed in Maya 2023 and the capture thumbnail tool isn’t working. It shows my character in the capture screen but when I click on capture the resulting thumbnail is a grey square. Any idea why this is happening?

Maya simply close without any error message when I try to open a fresh new instalation of Studio library 2.7.1. That happens in Maya 2020 (also in 2022 in python 2.7 compliant mode). After trying to find what can be causing the issue it seem it has to be with threading module and also QTrhead, one of them is use in sendAnalytics function and the other one is the method who checks for updates. It seems to be a known issue https://www.mail-archive.com/python_inside_maya@googlegroups.com/msg18861.html but is the first time I’m experiencing in a new installation.
Commenting this two calls Studio Library show the window without problems and Maya don’t crash. Don’t know if something in my local configuration contributes to generate this error.

Is it possible to call the functions directly instead of using the GUI?

I am trying to automate a process where an ANIM file gets loaded onto a controller set as part of a script.

If I do it in the GUI, it works fine, but I can’t find any documentation for automating the process.

Hello!

To prevent some motion blur issues in some fringe cases, we sometimes need to put keys in between frames. But studio lib doesn’t give the option to do so.
Would it be possible to add this feature in future releases?

Thanks a lot!

Successfully installed < studiolibrary/install.mel > in Maya 2020
When I go to run/launch studio library by clicking on the shelf button, Maya crashes (no error message)

Hi,
I am using Maya 2020.4 full version, and every time I click on the shelf to install, it crashes Maya. Unfortunately, I really need Studio Library for working remotely :/.
I forgot to add that I am using a Microsoft Surface pro 7, i7, 16g Ram. It has an integrated graphic card Intel Iris plus, instead of a regular graphic card. Everything else is running smoothly, only thing that crashes is Studio Library.
Thanks!

Currently, the pose is applied to the world as it’s being recorded from previous scenes in that location. However, to apply the pose on the existing scene relative to a joint (or control) would be a fantastic option to have.

Clicking the «sync» button triggers this error in the script editor. «…/linux/64/lib/python27.zpi/posixpath.py», line 73, in joint path +=’/’ + b

For some reason github doesn’t allow me to paste the full error here.

As far as we can tell, this was the result of an artist using a unicode character in their animation description. If one person saves a file with an unexpected character, this affects all artists on the team.

Hi! I’m using Maya 2022 and using studiolibrary-2.9.6.b3 on Windows 11. I’m currently animating a run cycle in a separate scene so I can use Studio Library to save an animation and import it into a different scene.

however…

Studio Library is being mean and will not allow me to save the animation at all due to an error I’m trying to figure out.
I keep getting two different errors:

‘charmap’ codec can’t decode byte 0x90 in position 2126: character maps to
and,
{errno 2} No such file or directory: ‘C:/User/AppData/Local/Temp/StudioLibrary/user/thumbnail/thumbnail.0000.jpeg’

I can’t believe this nonsense.

Here is some photo proof of said errors.

I am an animator and not a coder so I am struggling to try and figure this out on my own.
I don’t want any of my animations saved to a TEMP file, only my where my directory is saving them to VIA settings.
and more importantly, I want to save my animations in general!!!

Can anyone please help me with this issue? I would be super grateful.

Hi,
I stumble upon something I cannot figure out how to make it work.
I followed the instructions ( they are clear and straightforward) and still, the only thing that doesn’t work is setting Mirror Table.
End result is always Mirror Table containing 0 objects.. no matter what.

Am I doing something wrong? or this might be a bug related to Maya 2022 ( version I use)?
Everything else works as it should.

Hope someone will see this in time
Thanks in advance.

When blending in a pose (35 controls selected in my case) the blend slider is slow to update to user input. Another issue is you would drag and let go when you find your sweet spot but then the slider continues to drag by itself regardless of mouse up event. Ideally the mouse up event should exit the slider movement regardless of where the pointer was dragging to? I’m guessing that’s what is going but hopefully my description of the problem is clear. Thanks.

Hey, I’m having some troubles with library. I thought of reinstalling it but I can’t uninstall. When I delete the icon from Maya it does not work. I tried your code »reload for development» and it didn’t work too. I want to do this because merging animations is not working and some other things too.

We are working with advanced skeleton rigs. They have face controls that mirror wel. But advanced skeleton has also a seperate controlbox that doesn’t mirror well.

Is there a works around for this issue?

Hi,

I’ve had to reorganise folders recently for a project I’m working on. Only a certain level of folders and assets are now being found.

From googling I found an issues from years ago that Studio Library only looks 4 folders deep for assets and that you need to change it in the config to look deeper. I can’t seem to find the config to do that, if that is still even a problem?

My folders and assets are 5 folders deep, so I assume that it’s still the case. What should I do in order to sync further down the folder path?

Using 2.9.6.b3. Maya version 2020.4. Windows 10.

Kind regards

Hello,

obviously this is fine if im able to save my file to match but on systems where the default structure has been .mb i havent been able to use StudioLibrary as i dont have a solution
