Panda3D 1.3.0: pview on Windows

does Panda3D 1.3.0 pview on windows not support viewing Maya *.mb files directly anymore? it did with previous versions (and on OSX with a self-compiled build).

has this support been dropped intentionally?

That’s supposed to work. It relies on “load-file-type ptloader” being in a Config.prc file somewhere, and on the pandatool directory being correctly built with Maya support.

ah, good to know.

i was refering to the official distribution for windows though (not the self-build version on OS X), where i tried “pview myfile.mb” and it reported that this format was not supported (but .ma was?). but maybe i have missed something.

I can officially say that I’ve never so much as looked at this part of the code. I definitely haven’t reconfigured it. If it was working in 1.2.3, but not in 1.3.0, then something broke somewhere. I can try diagnosing tomorrow.
