Maya 2008/2009 DTS exporter

by Samaursa · in Artist Corner · 08/12/2009 (7:16 am) · 9 replies

Hi,

I am looking for the Maya 2009 DTS exporter (I found a link in the forums but it was dead). If anybody has it, can you please put it up somewhere for people to download.

Also, the Maya 2008 (I have Maya 2008 Extension 2) DTS exporter crashes when I try to export a DTS through File->Export.

Running dtsUtility; in the script editor returns an error (the plugin loads successfully through the plug-in manager). I tried to export a simple box (triangulated). Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

EDIT: dtsUtility; works (placed the mel script in the proper directory). The Exporter still crashes Maya.

Anyone? Is there a link to the source code at the very least so that I can compile it for 2008/2009 myself?

Same thing here. Dead links all over... Everybody keeps pointing to the " www.garagegames.com/developer/torque/artist/ " link but it gives us a 404 error...

it is actually: www.garagegames.com/documentation/artist

but I don't think there is a maya 2009 exporter..perhaps the 2008 version works ? I just don't know.

That link unfortunately does not even have the plugin for version 2008 (I found it somewhere else but it is crashing and not exporting at all. I have checked it on multiple computers with a simple triangulated box) =(

I am sure somebody has it, or at least has the source that we can recompile for the version each of us is using.

What??? That link doesn't have the 2008 exporter ?
...perhaps you shouldn't look while you're drinking heavily. :P

IMAGE Showing the exporter for 2008 that I downloaded from the link I posted.

//Edit: I don't use Maya but I know that I have read somethings about the 2008 / 2009 versions...have you tried searching the site for valid threads ? (I assume that you have but I need to ask anyways.)

My apologies for drinking on the job =P

That is however the same exporter I found through other links from the forums. I will install and try to export again just to be sure (I hope it does work). I have searched for the 2009 versions, and so far I haven't found any.

someone uploaded a Maya2009 exporter here but I do not have more information about it.

that one works great! thanks again for the link. Now hopefully it will work with the character model that I am exporting as well.

For anybody else running into the same problem and has Maya 2009, download the plugin from the above link, download the dtsUtlity from
