Yeah, I’ve been waiting for a fix for about a month now:
If you have any simple means to reproduce your issues, it’s probably good to post some test files here, considering the problem has been under McNeel’s radar for a while.
It would have been easy if Model Object allowed for internalizing data (which comes from monster file).
I was loosing my mind over it, thanks for letting me know it is not an error on my side.
Agreed, that would ease trouble shooting considerably.
A simple example sans 3rd party plugins would be extremely helpful. Thanks
I think I found the source of the problem:
this set of materials bakes ok
this one has a lots of materials imported with files (and bakes double):
It bakes OK when only one materias is applied:
I tested this with local or imported material, so, maybe, the error is not within imported materials, but you should definitely search for bug there
Whenever I have an obscure baking issue, one of the main symptoms is the order/ number of items changing in a tree, so when branches change item numbers, that usually tells you something is amiss.
Maybe check if one of the objects disappears or if a duplicate is present? Hard to diagnose without test files.
Further down my file there’s also this Purge component that’s misbehaving like crazy:
No missing objects or materials, no nulls or empties, still doubled output.
Do you have a small test file?
Small test file with simplified materials outputs correctly.
Only the complex scene with imported stuff with it’s own materials causes trouble. I spent hours trying to create reasonable sample. This is why I know it comes from material tab.
Are you using multiple Content Caches that act in a sequence?
Everything bakes at once.
Why does {9} have multiple items?
It’s just bunch of different elements.
Now, this is bizarre.
Bake first time from GH - everything is doubled.
Delete the model, bake again - everything comes x1.
This, certainly, has nothing to do with the tree structure.
Nope
