Hi,

I made a bunch of HDAs in h15 that include baketexture ROP. Everything works fine in H15, but in H15.5, they don't work anymore.

The problem seems to come from a python error in the ROPs:

“File”<stdin>“, line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named baketextureutil”

Anyone knows where it comes from and how to solve it?

Thanks in advance

Yeah, even the BakeHirestoLowres example from the docs is broken and displays the same error. The old bake texture node imports baketextureutil as a pre & post-render script which might be deprecated. I'd suggest editing your HDAs and replacing the old bake texture ROPs with the new one.

That being said, in 15.5 I'm having a terribly hard time finding out how to transfer surface normals from a hires to a lowres object. I guess you need a material assigned to the highres object to see at least a neutral normal map, but that is about how far I got…

Ah I see, I guess that's what I'll do then.

I never tried to transfer surface normals, so I can't help you with that.

Been trying to use it as well, seems like they didnt connect something correctly, writing out just N from the object gives us a world space normal map, (which even when i try to convert doesnt give me a proper result).

when i say just writing out N , I mean just bind exporting N from the global position root. strangely, the Tangent Normals gives me a flat .5 .5 1.0 color space but nothing else, no details. Id submit a bug report

Thanks for following up. Was pulling out my hair over this - looks like a bug after all.
