MHX Update Error

[Domiek]

Windows 10 64 bit

Diffeo development build 390d0a9cde42

MHX development build ed33f74b2190

‌

When updating a character’s mhx in the mhx tab via ‘Update MHX’ button

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘import_daz’

The rig seems to work fine despite the error, but I haven’t exhaustively tested it. I’ve tried this on all of my characters and this error has appeared on each one.

‌

Set the priority to minor since it hasn’t effected anything so far.

You need to enable the daz importer addon. The mhx rts is designed to work without diffeo, but to update an old rig you need it.

Sorry for not mentioning it in the OP, but I do have the daz importer enabled unless there’s an additional one I need to install.

OK, I see what happened. The mhx plugin looks for an addon called import_daz, which is the name of the daz importer if you update with git, or use the stable version (but don’t do that because it is obsolete). But if you download the dev version as a zip file, Bitbucket renames it to Diffeomorphic-import_daz-409a36… Hence you must rename the directory to import_daz before enabling it in Blender.

Thank you Thomas, your recommendation fixed the error.
