Is this possible?
My scene renders fine without backburner but every time I open scene it displays error message with some missing plugins such as ColorCorrect.
I stopped using this plugin but I think I have this message caused probably from an object I merged from a scene I created with max 2011. I checked all objects but there is not any object with color correct map and the scene renders perfectly fine though the error message is displayed each time I start the scene.
There is no problem until Backburner.
Backburner doesn’t render the scene because of this missing map.
So is there a way to set Backburner ignore missing plugins textures?
I don’t know how to make Backburner ignore errors but you could try running this script then have a look at the listener. It should give you some clues as to where the missing texturemap is.```
(
clearListener()
missTexMaps = getClassInstances Missing_TextureMap processAllAnimatables:true
for m in missTexMaps do
(
deps = refs.dependents m
print deps
)
)
Hi:)
Thanks for the tip but I get error:
-- Syntax error: at ), expected <factor>
-- In line: )
It works herein Max 2013. Have you missed the first ( when copying and pasting?
Tried again. Copy and pasted again but same error.
That’s strange…
Could you try without the outer parentheses?```
clearListener()
missTexMaps = getClassInstances Missing_TextureMap processAllAnimatables:true
for m in missTexMaps do
(
deps = refs.dependents m
print deps
)
Just had another thought… Are you pasting directly into the listener? if you are I should have provided better instructions.
You need to select ‘New Script’ from the Maxscript menu and paste it into there. Then from the tools menu choose ‘Evaluate All’.
With these instructions it worked 
But showing me an object that has not any color correct maps. It had but I fixed those but cant get rid of the message.
Good at least it works. Somehow there is a reference to a missing plugin on that object.
Does it give a material name as well or just an object?
I think it is inside the unwrap modifier. Probably fixed
Thanks a lot.
Is there a similar script for missing plugins as well?
