#3 Wow thanks! Good stuff.

#4 Do you have one for Mac OS X? MLL is Windows right?

#5 Thank you!!!Thank you!!!Thank you!!!Thank you!!!Thank you!!!

#6 I downloaded the exporter and all it had was an mll file so i loaded that into the plugins section and now it comes up with an error in maya when i try to load the exporter. i have the personal learning edition, could this be why it doesnt work for me?

#7 Nice Sean!
Although fluidimages.com seems to be down at the moment. Is it coming up soon? :)

EDIT: Nvm, it's up.

#8 @Johnny you can't use the PLE to export DTS.

#9 Thanks much Sean, do you mind if I add this to the official exporter .zip?

#10 Hi Alex. Wondered if you have any good news regarding a Mac version 6.5 - 7?
Cheers mate

#11 James:
It will be worked on internally as soon as our Mac guy gets off his current tasks.

#12 Www.fluidImages.com seems to be the only place to download the Maya 7.0 exporter. The website is down. Is there an alternate place to download?
Would anyone share? :)

#13 Jim,

The 7.0 compiled version is now included in the official .zip that is available from the Artists page and TDN:

#14 Great, I have it now.
Thanks for your quick response.

I do try to search for these things before I post :)
As a T2D owner I find some docs I have access to are a little tricky to find.


Thanks again!

#15 No problem. Things are a little mixed up now with the transition to TDN, docs all over the place and not easy to update. As everything gets consolidated to the much more easily manageable wiki form, all these dead links and outdated docs should start to become a problem of the past.

#16 Hi guys and gals

I have been a windows user for a long time and changed to Mac about a year ago and have still a long way to go to learning about Macs. for this reason my question may sound a bit silly or downright stupid, but here goes anyways:

I downloaded Torque 1.4 and found the maya2dts exporter source inside the zip. I then looked at the code and saw it was created for maya6. Fine, so I simply renamed the search path to 7 and hit compile. It had a problem with one of the functions so I had to remove the CONST decleration after the function decleration and hit compile again. This time it compiled just fine. Great! So now I have a maya2dts.dylib file compiled using Maya7.0 SDK...

What now? What do I do with a .dylib file? I tried loading it as a plugin but the plug-in manager doesn't see it so how do I use this file?

#17 So do u guys know when the finished plugin will be released? is there a reason that uv animations dont work? thats a pretty important feature for making things like water falls and stuff.

either way, thank you so far!!

#18 If anyone needs it, we have a version that seems to work well for Maya 7.0.1 on MacOS (PPC). Here's a link to it: http://www.altermentis.com/developer/download/maya2dtsExporter%20for%20MacOS%20Maya%207.zip

I needed to change the source code -slightly- so that it would compile in XCode 2.4, so the Maya console output will just show "" instead of the actual time in it's messages. The export works, though, whereas a downloaded version that we found elsewhere on the forums crashed 90% of the time.

#19 @Sean, do you have a fresh uncompiled version of the 8.5 exporter? I haven't been able to find it

#20 I do - do you need the source? I have been making my changes to the version that I got from the TGE build.
