It seems that part 2 is missing from the Xpresso Maker Tutorial.

Hi. I enjoyed this little series and learned a lot of big and small things.
However, I can’t get it to work!
I’ve tried the project files (the scripts dload)
A Xpresso tag is added but no in- or outputs.
I’ve tried on two different Macs both R12 and R13.
I see that (on a Mac) the node is not created until I click the expresso manager (to refresh it).
So I started to wonder what’s up.
And indeed, uncommenting the port loop, “print id,bc”, nothing is printed.
I’ve tried different refresh methods to no avail. (Draw, EventAdd etc.)

Any thoughts?

Cheers
Lennart

I don’t know how my post got here, I clicked the link at the tutorial #1 to discuss it !

Looks, like the way the system links the post with the video. The original post was not related to the video per se.
I’ll get Rick to take a look at both the script and the way the link is maintained.

When I was testing the script it was working fine, but a newer file may have been attached.
Anyway, Rick will sort that one out ASAP…or in around 4 hours from this post…he still has to get to the office and stuff like that.

Update: I tried it out myself after re-downloading the script and it is working fine for me. Perhaps it is mac only, do you have access to a PC or do dual boot to Windows?
Either way, 3 hours until this gets Rick Roll’d.

Hi Lennart,

I’m not sure what’s going on there - it’s working fine here. Does the object have userdata?

I did realize that there wasn’t a check up top for userdata, so I added that.
I also adjusted WirePorts to ignore the word “Strength” so you can directly connect UserData to PoseMorph targets with the same name.

The updated v1.1 is available via the files link.

Hi Rick.
Thanks, I’ll check it out over the weekend.

Patrick, I only have Mac OS to check with.

I’ll let you know.

Cheers
Lennart

Ok, I see…
I was adding Userdata to the nodes themselves.
Now I can study this a bit more.

Thanks
Lennart

Hi Alexander,

The download is typically not connected to the Overview-Clip, it is more in the second, sometimes even later in the series.
(Second clip is a safer bet, though.)

Below the tutorial, a little bit to the right: FILES

My best wishes

Thanks again, Alexander.

Typically, AFAIK, they should not be downloadable, to begin with. But this is not my area.

Please use the

… for any problems with missing features. It is the fastest and most direct way to get this fixed. Thanks for your efforts in advance.

Enjoy.
