Hello,

I have maya 7.0 and visaul C express edition 2005 FRENCH... if you explain me what I need to do to compile the source code... I can compil it for maya 7.0... and if the procedures are the same for linux in a few weeks I will be able to compile it for maya 8.0 linux... But I need you to explain me what I need to do to set visual C to compile the plugins... after I think I will be able to do it under linux... with a few help...

Great stuff you made, hte faster xml mesh exporter

Awsome, it's woring!

Do you have all you need to make the 6.0 and 7.0 version, yourdaftpunk?
Or should I send the 6.0 dev-files?

I want it to work for me too!

[yourdaftpunk]

I promise I'm going to try to compile for 7 by Saturday. If it works I'll try 6.

Also, I just got material support working in a limited way (only one lambert, blinn, or phong applied to a model). Latest files here for those with Maya 8:

I am getting the Maya 8 bug with emitters.

// Error: No object matches name: materialInfo7.incandescence //

The MTI script should have been looking for my object's lambert shader, keylightShader.incandescence, right?

I had no idea there were even MaterialInfo nodes in Maya

Again, thanks for that Shawn.

The MTI script should have been looking for my object's lambert shader, keylightShader.incandescence, right?

Maybe there is a more general or secure way to get that string out (materialname.incadescence) ?

Mmm... don't want to bother anyone but that'll be so cool, and a final breakthrough... Material's attributes names haven't changed through Maya's versions, only their index has... well, nevermind, I know I didn't help anyone out here or maybe it's just more complicated that I suggested

Nice *please let it work with Maya 6.0*



Matt B has to answer that bug question

[arneoog]

WTF! hmm... Dubble post bug..
Stupid 500 Internal Server Errror

[afecelis]

Linux version of the exporter would totally kick ass!

[yourdaftpunk]

Ok, the Nov. 25th version has a Maya 7 (edit: and Maya 6!) build for testing. http://www.shawnlipowski.com/plug-ins/

I can't compile for Linux, but maybe someone else can.

Also, there is still some problems with normals. Let me illustrate:


This is what it should look like (old mental ray render):

[arneoog]

stylish
Heh, looks like he has been attacked by acid

Have you exported the normals the same way as in the MEL version?

And when do you think you'll have a 6.0 version?

Really love this thing And I would love it even more if I could use it myself

[yourdaftpunk]

arneoog- just PM'd you. Get on AIM if you can - my sn is yourdaftpunk there too.

[edit: Arne found me and we've compiled it for 6!]

[arneoog]

Yay! it is working with 6.0
But that normal problem is still there

You should see that the normals are not the same..
And the UVs...

[tripnfall]

Sweet, the plug-in and scripts work for Maya 7. However, I'm also having problems with the normals being exported from Maya.

Thanks, this is awesome.

[yourdaftpunk]

Hopefully the normals work now. Update: http://www.shawnlipowski.com/plug-ins/i ... 6_2006.zip

[MattMR2]

Yeah great ... it's incredible...

If you can compil it for linux do it I just propose myself to help but I've just start with c/c++, that's why I said I can compil for linux with help . Personaly I use suse 10.1 desktop/entreprise. Your mesh exporter are totaly incredible... you're a rock
