Hi
That will work if he's using an old version of SItoA (however, I don't
remember which came first: we removed tbb.dll, or we switched to
ArnoldStaShaders, or we did both the same release)
But in summary:
That third-party plugin is a bit old now and so it is doing a few things
wrong, if you have a recent version of SItoA:
- There is no SItoA plugin called "Arnold Shaders"
- SItoA doesn't ship tbb42.dll
In Application\Plugins\bin\nt-x86-64\VDB_shaderDefs_ai.pys, add this line:
import sipyutils
and then replace this line
dllPath_release = Application.Plugins("Arnold Shaders").OriginPath +
"bin\\nt-x86-64\\tbb42.dll";
with
dllPath_release = __sipath__ + "//tbb42.dll";
