I am working with motion path curves in maya, and I just tried using the new mayapandatool and for some reason motion paths are not working any more. Can somebody else try to create a motion path from a curve and tell me if it works?
Exactly the same method worked before with mayapandatool3.mel
I just created a vertical CV curve, export it as a mesh, and here is what the egg file contains :
<CoordinateSystem> { Y-Up }
<Comment> {
"maya2egg2008 -a model -o C:/Panda3D-1.5.3/models/mine/test.egg 'C:/Documents and Settings/Doros/Desktop/Game engines/panda 3d/maya models/island/test_temp.mb'"
}
<Group> test_temp {
<Dart> { 1 }
<Group> groundPlane_transform {
}
}
Any help appreciated. Thanks
p.s the reason i moved to the new panda tool is because of some limitations with the old one. If I create a curve with the old one, and then somehow motify it, any changes I do will not be exported into the egg file. Anyone else had this problem?
It’s because the “-a model” option given to maya2egg. That “mesh” export option in the original mayapandatool exports the mesh as animated character, since the day it was created years ago, until v1.5.3.
A curve can’t be exported as a character.
Are these references correct to you :
old one : my mod (mpt3)
new one : v1.5.3’s
??
Really ?
What happen if you delete the egg first before export ?
Is there any error message in script editor output ?
PS. : there is nothing new in the v1.5.3’s mpt, but correction of the maya2egg version name calling, which is already done months ago in my latest mpt3.
I have solved the problem by using your mpt3, and selecting model/DSC flag instea of all in the save transformation. Now the changes in the curves are reflected in the egg file.
