Maya 2K8 export problem
by Andrew Ward · in Artist Corner · 03/01/2008 (7:40 am) · 4 replies
I've downloaded the correct exporter from the TGN maya 2k8 64bit. The exporter installs ok. When trying to install the mel script by typing dtsutility; I get // Error: line 1: Cannot find procedure "dtsutility". // Which I'm guessing it can't locate the file, I've dumped the script in pretty much every possible location. If i load the script via the editor I got the following error:
# Error: line 0: ('invalid syntax', ('', 2, 1, '/*\n'))
# File "", line 1
# /*
# ^
# SyntaxError: invalid syntax #
I'm using the mel script found in the (Windows 4.5-7.0 - Macintosh 6.0-7.0) archive as it wasn't present with the 2k8 archive.
Thank You

1. Download dts_maya_allversions.zip (the Windows 4.5-7.0) version from here.
2. Throw the dtsUtility.mel in My Documents\maya\2008\scripts.
3. Throw the dtsUtility.bmp in\Maya2008\icons .
4. Create the shelf button as per the instructions. The icon should be in the default location for making it perty.
Hope that works for you all too!

I had the same problem initially with Maya 2008 32-bit. Here's what worked for me:1. Download dts_maya_allversions.zip (the Windows 4.5-7.0) version from here.
2. Throw the dtsUtility.mel in My Documents\maya\2008\scripts.
3. Throw the dtsUtility.bmp in
4. Create the shelf button as per the instructions. The icon should be in the default location for making it perty.
Hope that works for you all too!

Line 1 : I simply wrote "AlwaysExport:" (no quotes)
Line 2 : I simply wrote an asterisk (shift 8)

Your shape will not export correctly, though, because the maya2dts exporter will delete all empty nodes. To fix this, create a new text file and save it in the same directory as your source file. Call it dtsScene.cfg and include all nodes in there. I decided to take the easy way out and wrote only two lines:Line 1 : I simply wrote "AlwaysExport:" (no quotes)
Line 2 : I simply wrote an asterisk (shift 8)
