Spherical harmonics doesn't work

[bigbossfr]

Hi,
I did this tutorial : http://www.spot3d.com/vray/help/maya/150R1/sph_harm.htm

When i hit render, my spherical harmonics are not created. No files, nothing.
Here the log :

Here a simple scene : https://rapidshare.com/files/1936788...stArmoni01.zip

What is wrong ?

Thanks

Ps : the link for the example scene is dead.

[vlado]

The scene link should be fine now.

Best regards,
Vlado

[bigbossfr]

Thank you.
Same problem with the demo scene, no spherical harmonics files.
Is it broken on the build 22063 ?

[vlado]

I will check a bit later on.

Best regards,
Vlado

Hi,

The problem was the way maya 2012/2013 was naming the file you want to bake to. You can work around this if you just remove the last three characters in the name the dialog box is giving to the file (see the attached image).



This has been fixed in the latest nightly build.

Best regards,
yolov

[^Lele^]

any chance of this coming the Max way?

It is in the "to do" list.
