Character Setup fails with "Moveprim" error

Hey, I am exporting the face from Blender with the USD exporter from the USD branch and then importing it into A2F. During character setup I get an error and can’t continue.

Here are my steps:

  • Drag the usd file into the Stage (Cliff_face_from_blender.usd (8.1 MB))
  • Select the face and execute “Mesh → Mesh Separate”
  • Select the new face
  • Set the new face as the Skin in Chatacter Setup
  • Press “Setup Character”
    → Error

Here is the error:

Let me know if you need the full log.
Thank you!

@philipp35 i am just another user passing by. i can’t seem to repro the error you were getting on my end using 2023.1.1. there were several texture/UDIM related issues, but nothing to do with prim translation.

btw, I had to adjust the character orientation as well (setting shown in the screenshot below), but don’t think it’s related.

I can seems to repro this either.
@philipp35, if the issue persist, can you record a video of your steps. as maybe I’m missing some steps to be able to repro the issue.
