Send2UE - Use Collections as Folders Animation & Groom Support

[JoshQuake]

Implementing @SaltyPandaCedric / @eXifreXi contribution adding Animation support to Use Collections as Folders

Hmmm I get that error as well even when this extension isnt enabled. They also do exist and appear to be working fine. This is after running with use collections as folders unchecked, bypassing the extension entirely.

Is this showing up as an error when you run the tests on the host machine with the apps open? Or only in the containers?

Cause I had to skip this one for linux cause it seemed to be working, but the error was being picked up in the test results. Don't know if these are related.

BlenderTools/tests/test_send2ue_extension_create_post_import_assets_for_groom.py

Line 91 in e44b3a4

if sys.platform == 'linux':

It happens with the apps open and manually testing the mannequins.blend. I get the error, but the binding is there and when you open it the target skeleton is correctly set. This is on Windows

[jack-yao91]

Could you attach to the unreal debugger and put a breakpoint around here

BlenderTools/src/addons/send2ue/dependencies/unreal.py

Line 436 in e44b3a4

if mesh_asset.__class__.__name__ == 'SkeletalMesh':

Then F8 each line and see where the error occurs? Could be that the groom logic needs to be updated

[JoshQuake]

errors out at 451 when creating the groom asset. However it then sets the missing target skel right after, negating the error.

BlenderTools/src/addons/send2ue/dependencies/unreal.py

Line 451 in e44b3a4

groom_binding_asset = Unreal.create_asset(

Hmm weird, I wonder if there is an alternative API call? Or maybe its just a bug in the python API that hasnt been reported.

[jack-yao91]

What about adding a breakpoint at 410? Might be something to do with the asset_tools API. Ill see if I can dig into this too

[JoshQuake]

feel free to work in the branch. I'm done working on it for the day and will be starting on #28 tonight after a break

[jack-yao91]

Hmm ok unreal 5.4 freezes up for me everytime when
bpy.context.scene.send2ue.extensions.create_post_import_assets_for_groom.blueprint_with_groom = True

I just opened the mannequins.blend from the tests

Is it not freezing for you? Seems like only 5.3 works for me. 5.4 locks up and I have to kill unreal from task manager

[JoshQuake]

I've been using 5.4 without freezes but I dont think that extension has been enabled in my testing

[JoshQuake]

I was wrong that extension is active since it is by default

[jack-yao91]

Hmm ok might be a me problem. I think I am running out of vRAM.
