MayaCE3 Mesh Export Issues

CreativeHD

When I go to Export Selected Objects I get an error that says "Some files could not be exported!". I have the cryexport node set up correctly and I have added the attributes to it and set it to .CGF. The material exports correctly the only thing that doesn't is the mesh. On the mesh I have frozen the transforms and deleted the history. Does anyone know what is going wrong? I am using Maya 2013. Thanks to anyone that can help!

It's not that I don't trust you, but it would be easier to find a solution if you provide pictures. :P

if your using the newest version of CryEngine, it may be the resource compiler that is missing from the build.

I believe I had this issue a while back with both CE3 export and CryTiff, the above solved it.

Yes I am using the newest version (3.5.6) but I already copied the RC files over earlier when I downloaded CryEngine beacuse the Settings Manager said that it couldn't find the RC executable but now it can so I don't think that is the issue.

Checking the MayaCE3 website:

This module is unsupported as of December 10th 2012 since I am no longer using the CryEngine. I will leave this page up as is, but MayaCE3 will not be updated anymore and I am unable to provide any support for it!

Are you sure it still works? Have you tried the official export methods?

Edit: CRYENGINE uses meter so switch to meter in Maya as well.

I guess it must be broke because the official exporters work fine. As for the units CryEngine does use meters but they must want it exported using centimeters because when I validate the model it says "The linear working units should be set to Centimeters". Oh well I will just go back to using the official exporters. Thanks for the help though!

I'm using Maya 2012 with MayaCE3 , seems to be working fine with the new build. Which maya version are you using?

IIRC you can remove that restriction when you export.

@MichaelElphick I am using Maya 2013.

@Brygelsmack Oh I will have to do that. Thanks.
