Maya Assertion Error

by Brian Parnes · in Artist Corner · 04/18/2007 (9:09 pm) · 3 replies

I am having trouble exporting an animated character from Maya 6.5 (Windows). I posted the last few lines of the dump.dmp file and the OpenMayaErrorLog.txt file that were created after exporting failed. Does anyone know how I could resolve this issue?

dump.dmp file:
Optimizing skin mesh "indian0" detail level 0.
7932 verts before joining verts
7932 verts after joining verts
6020 faces before stripping
Using Quick, dirty, & ugly stripping method.
1982 strips with average length 5.48 (range 3 to 77) and 868 reversals

Optimizing skin mesh "indian300" detail level 300.
15033 verts before joining verts
15033 verts after joining verts
24080 faces before stripping
Using Quick, dirty, & ugly stripping method.
1 strips with average length 3.00 (range 3 to 3) and -24079 reversals

What exactly was the error that you got. (it should be at the VERY end of the dump file)

I've gotten these two errors:

confirmDialog -t "Error Exporting DTS Shape" -m "Assertion failed when stripping (11)";
// Result: Confirm //
// Error: Assertion failed when stripping (11) //

confirmDialog -t "Error Exporting DTS Shape" -m "Assertion failed when stripping (5)";
// Result: Confirm //
// Error: Assertion failed when stripping (5) //

It seems to export the lower-res model just fine, but it encounters the errors above once it reaches the high-res model. The low-res model has 6,020 faces and the high-res model has 24,080 faces. Does anyone know if there is a limit or a bug related to the poly count? If so, has anyone fixed it?
