create_level_sequences_csv.py #6

Hi,

I'm trying to render bodies in Unreal Engine. I have prepared all necessary assets according to the instructions (see the spoiler).

Engine\Content\PS hierarcy - Bedlam - Clothing - rp_janna_posed_044 - rp_janna_posed_044_1002_clo.uasset - ... - rp_janna_posed_044_1099_clo.uasset - Core - BE_CineCameraActor_Blueprint.uasset - BE_GroundTruthLogger.uasset - EditorScripting - BEDLAM.uasset - Materials - BE_ClothingOverlayActor.uasset - M_Clothing.uasset - M_SMPLX.uasset - M_SMPLX_Clothing.uasset - M_SMPLX_Hidden.uasset - M_SMPLX_White.uasset - LightProbe - BE_LightProbe.uasset - BE_LightProbe_Black.uasset - BE_LightProbe_Chrome.uasset - BE_LightProbe_Gray.uasset - BE_LightProbe_White.uasset - BE_Skin1.uasset - BE_Skin6.uasset - Textures - rp_aaron_posed_002_texture_01.uasset - T_rp_aaron_posed_002_texture_01_diffuse.uasset - T_rp_aaron_posed_002_texture_01_normal.uasset - Meshcapade_CC_BY-NC_4_0 - skin_m_white_01_ALB.uasset - SMPLX_eye.uasset - Python - create_level_sequences_csv.py - create_movie_render_queue.py - render_movie_render_queue.py - HDRI - 4k - decor_shop.uasset - small_workshop.uasset - SMPLX - female_25_it_4002 - female_25_it_4002_0000.uasset - ... - male_30_nl_6559 - male_30_nl_6559_0000.uasset - ... - male_30_nl_6559_0024.uasset - Meshcapade - SMPL - skin_f_african_01_ALB.uasset - ... - skin_m_white_07_ALB.uasset - Materials - MI_skin_f_african_01_ALB.uasset - ... - MI_skin_m_white_07_ALB.uasset

So when I'm clicking on the Create LevelSequences button, I see the next error:

LogPython: Error: No asset found for body path: GeometryCache'/Engine/PS/Bedlam/SMPLX/rp_henry_posed_001/rp_henry_posed_001_1071.rp_henry_posed_001_1071'
LogPython: Error: LevelSequence generation failed. Total time: 0.0s
LogPython: Error: Traceback (most recent call last):
LogPython: Error:   File "C:/Program Files/Epic Games/UE_5.0/Engine/Content/PS/Bedlam/Core/Python/create_level_sequences_csv.py", line 730, in <module>
LogPython: Error:     sys.exit(1)

Looks like the script requires a different file structure and different files extensions. Could you please help me to understand how can I render bodies correctly?

  1. Looks like the desired Alembic GeometryCache file rp_henry_posed_001_1071.abc was not imported into Unreal or was imported but is at wrong location on your system. You need to have

UE_5.0\Engine\Content\PS\Bedlam\SMPLX\rp_henry_posed_001\rp_henry_posed_001_1071.uasset

in the filesystem in your installed Unreal 5.0 Engine folder.

  1. Your Meshcapade\SMPL textures hierarchy does not seem to follow the instructions. It does not matter for body textures but is important if you want to render clothing overlay textures as used in the highbmi renders. Female textures need to be in: UE_5.0\Engine\Content\PS\Meshcapade\SMPL\MC_texture_skintones\female\skin Male textures need to be in: UE_5.0\Engine\Content\PS\Meshcapade\SMPL\MC_texture_skintones\male\skin
