Copy error when creating a network deployment

Before you create a network deployment, create an empty toxik folder in the source folder where the you extracted the contents of the downloaded .exe. Otherwise you’ll get this error, even if you clear the MatchMover and Composite checkboxes:

---------------------------
Autodesk Softimage 2011 Subscription Advantage Pack
---------------------------
The copy functions cannot be used.

Failed to copy the following files:

    C:\Autodesk\Softimage_2011_Subscription_Advantage_Pack_English_Japanese_64bit\toxik	
to
    \\EXAMPLE\Deployments\SAP\AdminImage	

---------------------------
OK

MatchMover FBX export doesn’t work

When you try to import an FBX file into Softimage 2011 Subscription Advantage Pack (SAP) from MatchMover, you get an error:

The following error(s) occured while attempting to read the FBX file:
-Corrupted or invalid file.

That’s because MatchMover exports a REALVIZ XML file instead of actual FBX.

Try using the Softimage VB Script export instead. That gives you a VBScript you can run in Softimage 2011 SAP to set up the exported tracking data.
