Should I be concerned about this error?

[hunter_williams]

I've got a V-Ray Volume Grid that is playing a Phoenix .aur sequence and I keep getting this error but I don't know if it's something I should be concerned about:

[hermit.crab]

NpPointsBlinn is an Arnold node if I'm not mistaken. They most likely need to be replaced with V-Ray/Phoenix ones.

[hunter_williams]

That's interesting as I don't have Arnold even installed.

A lot of garbage can come in if you imported other models from different sources, Open the Dag outliner and inspect the file or use a clean up script.

[hunter_williams]

damaggio, can you recommend a cleanup script?

Hi Hunter, I use this one for unwanted plugins but it might not resolve your particular node...If Aleks is right and it comes from Arnold then this script might remove the plugin from the scene.
If you have some basic knowledge of scrippting you can find that node in a script editor and remove it, on the other hand if the scene is rendering fine just leave it alone.
