Error when exporting Delta Mush deformer weightmaps

Bug
#1

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to export the painted weight maps of a Delta Mush deformer in Maya 2022 using mGear 5.4.5.

Here are the steps I followed:

  1. Selected the Delta Mush deformer.
  2. Ran Export Deformer Weightmap.
  3. Chose the desired file location.

However, the export fails with the following error:

Error: AttributeError: file ...\Documents\maya\modules\scripts\mgear\pymaya\node.py line 263:
'Transform' object has no attribute 'fullPathName'

I’m not sure if I’m using the tool incorrectly or if this might be a bug in mGear 5.4.5.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance! Christian

Did you truncate the error? Is there any more to it?

This doesn’t show the full stack of which file called the node.py file. Probably deformer_io.py?

A deltaMush deformer shouldn’t have a transform node, so either something else is getting selected, or the tool has a bug. If you can find the full error stack, you might be able to find an example of how to call the command through code instead of using the menu.

Or maybe the bug is an easy fix. Or maybe you can select the deformer in a different way to avoid the error.
