Mantra Sprite Procedure Errors

[lisux]

Hi all.

I am getting some strange errors while rendering sprites.

The one, i get the next message:

mantra: Error initializing procedural 'sprite'

Somebody knows why it is produced?

The second:

Unable to get VEX code from:
        opdef:/Shop/spriteShader

I am using absolute paths so why mantra can't find the shader.

The shader is in an otl installed in the HIP, maybe the error is related to this?

Thanks

I had this problem in version 7. Sprites would work fine, but then all of a sudden they'd stop being recognized. It must be a bug, because the sprites stop working if you have a procedure pointing to the sprite shader and then youi edit the shader. I ended up rebuilding the scene, it wasn't too big, set up the sprites and left them alone.

Thanks.

Finally i have to paste the shader i used in my otl to define it in the same scene as the sprites, then all goes well.

But i still don't know why mantra can't find the VEX code if i use the same shader but from an OTL rather to have it in the scene.

About the mantra procedural sprite error, was my own mistake . It is solved now
