MODO to MAYA

ToRuKMactO

I have my first model done in MODO and now I'm going for subdivision process, its unfamiliar to do that on MODO to me, so I decided exporting to Maya, I tried both OBJ/FBX formats with no sucess, on the FBX case I got this message
I've exported it into ZBrush and UVLayout without problems. This very model has some 2 Edges vertices( for some holes and geometry end), Could someone help me ?? I tried a plug-in to load LXO format into Maya and didnt work as well

Edge Weighting tool doesnt work that good on complex meshes. Also should be nice using that tool and be able to export to Maya, look here the control that you can get http://https//vimeo.com/21625869

Did you make sure to do a mesh cleanup on the Modo model before export so as to get rid of any double-verts?

I did, also I also tried to export a simple cube and didnt work, I have no clue what to do, I really want to work with both softwares on that process

Could you post a link to a cube obj file with this issue?

Its a primitive from MODO

Could you put it on a site that's not infested with malware -_-
You could also just open the obj in a text editor and paste the text here, since OBJs are not encrypted.

What about on mediaFire ??

The cubee.obj seems fine other then possibly some scale issues.
In Modo go to System > Preferences > File I/O > Wavefront I/O > Import Units + Export Units, and change it to centimeters (this is based on my oooold Modo notes, may not be the exact same path anymore).

If that doesn't help, then all I can say is it's probably something on the Maya side of things instead of on Modos.

I appreciate your help man, unfortunately it doesn't work, what i figured out was:

no matter what, the cube is extremely huge on Maya.

its not in the same place on Grid.

Its deformed and has some floating vertices

The mesh is not responding to the handles well(even the transform move, it makes the mesh shake and actually doesn't move out from its place)

I still think that the problem is on MODO, because I had exported a mesh once and both formats FBX/OBJ worked.

I'm really stuck here, I'm thinking about reinstalling MODO and see what happens
