Maya 2010 .DTS plug-in NEEDED.

#1 I will second this, we would like a native dts exporter or much better collada compatibility.

#2 I want this too if it will be available for the 2011 version also!

#3 I have compiled an exporter for Maya2010. I have not had the time to test the Maya DTS processes with this exporter..so I will call this a "test exporter".

If you get a warning or an error, post it here..I'll look into it when I have the time.
Disclaimer: (I compiled the TGE 1.5.2 supplied exporter codebase with the 2010 MayaSDK...yet, I still have to say this: use at your own risk.)

Hopefully this fully works...
Download Maya2010 TEST version

#4 I cant seem to get the provided .DTS exporter to work :(
I installed it just as it said, but the ".dts" file does not show whenever i select to export. It only brings up a list of; mentalray(*.*), move(*.mov), mayaBinary(*.mb) and mayaAscii(*.ma).

#5 iirc, it worked for a simple sphere. I'd recheck the installation process.

#6 Has anyone compiled a Maya 2010 64-bit exporter?
Thanks

#7 Hi eb

I saw your statement about GG, not sure what was said, but I am sorry that things like this have happened. I hope to see you back in the group, you have always contributed so much the other indies, I am sure they all feel very thankful, I know I am.

#8 I have just compiled and tested dts eporters for Maya 2009 and 2011, 32-bit version. Tested Jill pack in showtoolpro and in game with full animation working. And sorry, I don't have the 2010 version.

I don't have any where to upload these, but let me know if someone can.

Hey. May I have a source of Maya exporter plug-in to compile it for latest version?

#10 Val;
it requires a license to TGE 1.5.X..
email me if you can sort that out with GG.

#11 2 E.B.
Yes, I've bought a license for Torque3d couple days ago. I sent you message by email.

#12 T3D is not TGE.

..if you can get David Blake, Mich. Perry or Scott Burns to say that a T3D license is good enough to grab TGE for purposes of compiling exporters then I think we can move ahead.

#13 Why it's so complicate? )) That is TGE? On main page of GG i've found only next products:

- Torque3D
- Torque2D
- iTorque2D
- TorqueX
- TorqueWii
- Torque360

But TGE is available to download for me as old engine's version.

I'm using Maya 2009 and going to upgrade it up to Maya 2012. So.. what a have to do further to make it work?

Anyway, thanks for an answer ;)

#14 Here's info for you:
I have been told that TGE is not part of T3D's purchase and that it is not a valid license for your use of TGE. Having previous 3D engine versions via T3D purchase is supposedly a site bug they are trying to fix.
..I've also heard; you will eventually lose all previous version downloads listed in your account, only T3D downloads will remain.

..this is complicated because you're nearly expecting me to break licensing agreements & well, I do not break license agreements. Currently I can not give you the files without breaking a license agreement & You need to understand that fast if you want me to bother giving you anything. ;)

P.S. get the ok and send me $50 for my time spent on fixing/tweaking the code.

#15 @E.B.
I'm not familiar with the Maya plugin development process. Do they need to compile the plugin themselves or is it a binary that you can release?

#16 they would need to compile it and then they could dispense the produced binary.
The main question of course is:
T3D was bought at $99, does this give them license to get the TGE source too ? (I've heard that having a TGE download is a bug since TGE is not to be included with the $99 purchase.)

#17 Actually, i don't need a source. I need an exporter plugin for Maya2009-2012 ((

p.s. As I understand.. if I had a licence for TGE (much higher price then 99$), you would not talked about me in such a dismissive tone? Right? ))

#18 We currently include TGE for free with Torque 3D Pro licenses, but that can go away at any time. It is done as a free service for people who have been using it in the past. We are not supporting it at all nor are we making it available for sale beyond the free inclusion. If it ends up being a support issue, however, we will most likely remove it since very few groups are actively using it any longer.

So as long as it is included, you should be able to release builds of the plugin's for it though.

#19 ok, Dave's post is good enough for me Val.

Also, Val..I never received an email from you..if you copy & paste an email from this site it will add the word "null" into the address, please be sure to remove that word from the email address.
