Ok, it seems likely that it is as Aranuvir says: The problem is the filename encoding for JSON which Aranuvir fixed a while back.

Can you try running with the latest versions of the socket and mhapi plugins and see if the problem goes away? They are here: https://github.com/makehumancommunity/c ... ins-socket and here: https://github.com/makehumancommunity/c ... gins-mhapi

I've also implemented a potential fix on the MPFB side. But I'd need to set up a windows development environment to test it.

If I can help you could send me the .py file(s), I do run this on Windows. ( email is assetdk-at-outlook.dk )

I tried to install the plugins, in the makehuman\V1py2\plugins directory...(also they do show up the plugin_log). Import materials are still not working.

However, there are two observations:

1. after starting blender: in MakeHuman there is a message on the "Community/Socket" fan:


Starting server thread.
Opening server socket...
Opened on host 127.0.0.1
Opened at port 12345

Waiting for connection.

Client says: '{
"function": "getUserDir",
"error": "",
"params": {

},
"data": null
}
'
About to serialize JSON. This might take some time.
Waiting for connection.

2. The debug log looks like this:

Debug client attached.

It's hard to debug without being able to play around with it. I hope to be able to get some time to spin up a windows workstation this weekend and take a closer look at it.

Running official MakeHuman 1.2.0 (ie without Aranuvir's fix) together with the latest mpfb2 master (ie with https://github.com/makehumancommunity/m ... 8690e8af5a included) on windows 10, I can't replicate the error above.

Do you still have the problem when running with the latest master of mpfb2?

In either which way, I'll try to wrap the handling in a try/catch block so we can save proper debug info if and when it happens again.

I've now pushed https://github.com/makehumancommunity/m ... dba4bb88c6 to master. This way we should be able to see exactly what happens.

If the problem persists when running the latest code, can you try again and send me the material.makeskin log?

Thanks I did try to install the latest version of MakeHuman and the addon.. and still got the problem. But I can auto detect and load the skin from there and there is no problems with that. It seems odd as I assume that "load skin" would be the exact same code that will handle the "import material". ( If I had time I would be able to debug this, but I get interrupted all the time... )

I solved the OPENGL32.dll issue, that was caused by a too old version of the dll. I will post a bit more about this in the wiki/help, and add a link here afterwards.


Things work fine with the same skin, but then when I go to 'view port shading' this happens:

Error : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION
Address : 0x0000000065D1C606
Module : OPENGL32.dll
Thread : 00003f8c
Writing: C:\Users\asset\AppData\Local\Temp\blender.crash.txt
The terminal process "d:\Blender\stable\blender-2.92.0-windows64\blender.exe '--python', 'c:\Users\asset\.vscode\extensions\jacqueslucke.blender-development-0.0.15\pythonFiles\launch.py'" terminated with exit code: 11.

It looks like there could be something basically "wrong" with my setup? This happen also when I load materials, and I ran the entire process in 'view port shading' mode.
I will go down different roads and see how far I can get without 'view port shading', load materials etc.



Also - I will still try to download what you just posted and report it back to you...

Thanks for the patience - now it's working, this is the fix that made it:

self._settings[key] = str(self._settings[key]).replace("\\\\", "/")
self._settings[key] = str(self._settings[key]).replace("\\", "/")

I primitively tried to comment it out when it seemed to work, so I knew exactly what was the operative part. This even solves the 'Viewport shading' issue.
[Removed comments about the shader/opengl32 - see post above. ]

Have you tried just using a Windows Docker container?
