ID 405258 - An old ReadGeo node is created when dragging/dropping an .fbx or alembic file into the Node Graph.

Follow

Problem summary:
An old ReadGeo node is created when dragging/dropping an .fbx or.abc file into the Node Graph.

 

Customer reported version:
11.3v5

 

Customer reported platform:
macOS 10.14 Mojave

 

Steps to reproduce:

1) Launch Nuke.

2) From a directory/desktop, click and drag an .fbx  or .abc file onto the Node Graph.

3) Set the Viewer for the node and observe the FBX/ABC Options in the Properties bin.

 

Expected behavior:
A ReadGeo2 node should be created, and the node name knob (fbx_node_name) should populate with .fbx node names. Additionally, when drag/drop alembic files, the Viewer should populate with the model.

 

Actual behavior:
The animation stack (fbx_take_name) and node name knobs (fbx_node_name) are displayed with -------, instead of the respective .fbx nodes.

For Alembic files, the model is missing from the viewer and the ABC Options are flipped.

 

Workaround:
Reading in the .fbx  or .abc file using a ReadGeo2 node (right-click 3D > Geometry > ReadGeo2) will display the properties correctly.

 

Reproduced by Support in:

Nuke 12.0v2 - Windows 10, , CentOS 7, macOS 10.13

Nuke 11.3v4 - Windows 10

Nuke 11.3v1 - Windows 10

Nuke 11.2v1 - Windows 10

Nuke 11.1v3 - Windows 10, CentOS 7, macOS 10.13

 

Earliest version tested:
Nuke 11.1v2 - This feature did not exist before this version - dragging/dropping an .fbx /.abc file would create a regular Read node with an fbxReader.dll  or abcReader.dll error.
