No Matching Files found

[ValleyofJays]

Hi. I'm trying to import an object sequence made with Depthkit using azure kinect. I'm on Blender 2.91.0 using stop-motion-obj 2.1.0.

On import, I navigate to the folder where the Depthkit export is: it is filled with commonly prefixed .obj, .mtl, and .png files (Blender doesn't see the latter), one each for each frame. I copy the prefix (everything before the frame number), and enter it as the file name in the Blender import pane.

I get an error: No Matching Files Found.

What am I doing wrong?

Try downloading one of the Sample Sequences from the repo. Are you able to import those sequences successfully?

If those are working, would it be possible to share a few frames (2 or 3) of your sequence so I can debug on my end? Or at the very least, take a screenshot of the Import Mesh Sequence window just before you click Select Folder to import the files?

Check in the top right corner to select the correct file type.

Simple problem I realized after seeing this post

I'm having the same problem with a sequence of .ply files and the file type is set to the correct one. It still gives me the no matching files found problem. The .obj sample sequence imported without a problem. I wonder why?

@jessiez0810 Which version of Blender and which version of the addon? Also, are you able to share 2 or 3 of your meshes?

@neverhood311 I am using blender 2.93 and here is a sample folder for you to test https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kaGNoscB8uwuMJ5_43ldUP_erIM-IGcm/view?usp=sharing

@jessiez0810 So it looks like the files have no real filename prefix; they're just numbers like "00001.ply", "00002.ply", etc. What are you entering as the File Name Prefix when you try to import the sequence?

[jessiez0810]

Hello, you are right about the filename prefix. I use a volumetric video recording software and the recorded.ply files from that software don't have a filename prefix. When I manually give the files a prefix like in the picture below, it worked!

Could you please update your steps to loading the files with the prefix instructions for future users? It worked for me, however, if I haven't found this reply and learned how to add prefix to files, I would have never got it working. I think future users (they will be growing) would greatly appreciate this little touch.

Thank you for your addon! It is great!
