rig_mouth_open_combos.py from template never finishes

Hello Everyone, I have a problem with rig_mouth_open_combos.py when I'm rigging the face. This is the script that comes under the face module to add the mouth open blendshape to the face, and when I hit process, Maya stops working when Vetala runs this script. Even when I run scripts one by one, when I this script runs, Maya stops working.
Now there are no crashes when this happens; vetala just gets stuck on this code and never moves to the next one.

I was hoping I could get some help in here.

I'm running Maya 2018


This is how the code looks. I made sure not to change it from its original version.

Code: Select all


from vtool.maya_lib import util
from vtool.maya_lib import deform

def main():

    """
    combo = deform.ComboControlShape('smilewide'+side)
    combo.add_target('smile'+side)
    combo.add_target('wide'+side)
    combo.add_control_position( 'CNT_JAW_1_C.rotateX' % side, 15 ) 
    combo.add_control_position('CNT_LIP_CORNER_1_%s.translateY' % side, 1) 
    combo.set_base_mesh('skull_cutup_head_C')
    combo.create()
    """

    #Mouth Open Corrective
    for shape,attr,value in [["mouthOpen","rotateX",15]]:
        cmds.setAttr("CNT_JAW_1_C.%s"%(attr),value)
        deltaGeo = util.chad_extract_shape("skull_cutup_head_C", shape)
        cmds.delete(shape)
        cmds.rename(deltaGeo, shape)
        deltaGeo = shape
        cmds.parent(deltaGeo, "blendshapes")
        util.quick_blendshape(deltaGeo, "skull_cutup_head_C")

its using the old:

Code: Select all

from vtool.maya_lib import util
you should remove that line and change anywhere it says

Code: Select all

util.
to

Code: Select all

deform.

Thank you very much, Louis! It worked exactly as needed
