Brow rigger script fails

[Jason_Schleifer]

Hi all,

I’m running into a failure with the brow rigger script - seems like others may have seen similar behavior in the lips, but essentially I’m getting:

# Warning: Too many coincident knots.  Maximum allowed is degree # 
# Traceback (most recent call last):
#   File "X:\app_env\maya\modules\mgear_3.4.0\scripts\mgear\rigbits\facial_rigger\brow_rigger.py", line 1524, in build_rig

I’m following the video from here:

Any suggestions?

thanks!

@Jason_Schleifer

Any suggestions?

I have found this issue in the past. But I have to check. I don’t remember right now
Is it possible to share a sample scene to reproduce the error? Please send me a PM

[Jason_Schleifer]

Okay, I’ll see if I can grab some piece of the geo and send it your way! thanks!

[Jason_Schleifer]

oh interesting… when I remove a bunch of the geometry so it’s just the head, then it seems to be working. I wonder if something else is going on… I’ll have to investigate further before I send something over.

Oh! I see Please let me know if you find something. Thanks!

Hi ! I’m relaunching this old topic (sorry ) but I have the same problem as yours. I tried to delete the body of my character and I have now this error:

# TypeError: object of type ‘NoneType’ has no len()

Did you finally found a solution without removing the body ?

Otherwise I’m able to build each brow separatly as well as the center brow. I don’t know how to connect the center one to the side ones so it will be awesome that the symmetry tool works by default !

Hi everybody. I try out the brow script and same issue like in topic.

I used this settings.

and get this result

.

I try other two different points/loops on mesh, but with the same result.
On other meshes I get this one

or after some tests only the error ’ with the 5 edges vertex*.’

Maybe someone have a solution or workaround that works. That will be greatfull.

thanks for time and best regards
