Hey all,
I am new with Maya using it for a school project and I am having a lot of trouble while trying to create a PSD network for my character.

I have been able to create psd networks fine in the past, but on my charecter wheneven I try to create a network i receive the following error

// Error: Invalid call to “filetest”.  Check number and types of arguments expected by the procedure.

Can anyone help me solve this problem?

much appreciated

Brett

interestingly enough I’m also experiencing the same problem after recently reinstalling. It seems to be a script error. I’ll definitely be watching this thread and try to contribute any way I can.

I Have the same problem i know i am doing it right i have everything in the right folder but it jus keeps coming up with the error any help appreciated

Thanks

The error is

// Error: Invalid call to “filetest”.  Check number and types of arguments expected by the procedure

managed to get the network to work if you guys are still stuck with the error then whilst in maya go to Window - Settings/Preferences - Preferences - Edit - Resore - Defalt Settings. This should resotre any prevous settings set in maya which may conflict with the PSD Network.

Good Luck

Hi everyone,

I’ve been getting the same error as the OP, and resetting the defaults in maya did not fix the problem.

In my case, windows had set the Maya folder in /documents (I’m on win7x64)to read only, meaning Maya could not create the .psd file for the psd network option. Changing it back (NOT read-only) fixed this problem entirely for me.

Hope this helps :)

*edit*

For some reason, Maya does not automatically open Photoshop anymore. If you open photoshop and manually locate the file (\Documents\maya\projects\[Project name]\sourceimages) It will work fine.

Me too had faced the same problem in more than one instances when i tried to create psd network. Sometimes repeated try would help do get a positive reaction, and if you are not enough patient, just import the model into another empty scene and create psd network again. Most probably it will do.

Hey everyone, I’m running into this problem as well. However, I have tried all of these solutions, and nothing has worked yet. I didn’t start noticing this problem until after I downloaded a plug-in called Zebruv. I really hope that the plug-in isn’t the problem, because it is making UV unwrapping a lot easier, but there is no point in unwrapping it if I can’t create a .psd network. This problem isn’t coming up with jus the file I’m working on. If I start up a new project and try to create a psd network it says the same thing. This error also occurs on meshes where I didn’t use Zebruv.

I’ll go back through where I put the plug-in and see if I messed up. But any kind of advice will be great! Thanks!

I am running Maya 2011 on Mac OSX 10.6.8.

EDIT: Nevermind. It started working again after I restarted the program. If the problem comes up again, I’ll probably be back here.

I’m digging up an old thread here, but…

I have the same problem. I’ve tried everyone’s ideas, except this one, quoted - how do you change Window’s read-only setting?

If that doesn’t work then I’m well stumped
