XGen Density Mask Issues
polycounter lvl 4
Hi all!
Trying to create a hairstyle in XGen and having an issue occur where it's not creating a ptex file when I try to make a density mask and is giving me the "failed to find" error. I've made sure the project is correctly set and that the file path does not include any spaces. I'm using a separate 'scalp' mesh and have made sure it's in the correct UV coordinates and given it a default lambert material. I also made sure to delete mesh history before starting just in case and have tried to use the paint tool settings to assign/edit the mask.
Visually, when I click on the paint option it gives me the paint brush but turns the scalp mesh invisible until I cancel out of it. The specifics of the error and the visual glitch(?) are in the screenshot below (please excuse the state of his hair, I've been trying to find a fix for the past couple of days and have been more haphazard with guide placement just so I have something to troubleshoot with).
I'm not sure whether I'm just missing something or have done something silly to make it do this, so if anyone has any suggestions for fixes I'm all ears.
Cheers!

Since I last posted I tried resetting Maya to default preferences as that was one of the last suggested things I could find online, which unfortunately didn't fix the issue.
I have managed to determine that the issue is something to do with the model itself as I am able to create a density mask for an XGen groom on a sphere in the same project file. So hopefully it's a simple fix...
If you read this, thanks for coming on this little journey with me.
I should probably get some sleep...
