Books do not render #1

Open richjohnson-wwt opened 3 months ago

richjohnson-wwt commented 3 months ago

I cloned the repo and launched the extension in Composer v2023.2.2 (105.1.2). The bookshelf renders according to the values set in UI but no books appear. There are no errors logged to the console. The book_A.usd file is under the data folder in my workspace.

It is a great tutorial series otherwise.

We determined that the books will render if we check the BookInstancers Instanceable checkmark, and it will continue rendering even if that checkmark is unchecked. I don't think this is the 'correct' solution however, and would interested in learning how to get the books to render properly.

def clearInstanceableOnBookInstancer(self):
        instancer_path = self.geom_scope_path.AppendPath("BooksInstancer")
        omni.kit.commands.execute('ToggleInstanceableCommand', prim_path=[Sdf.Path(instancer_path)])

This solves the issue. Add this code to the bottom of generator.py and call it from the generate method.
