Need help... Maya to Mudbox

CowmasterStudios

Ive looked everywhere for a tutorial on this and came up dry. I know you have to an obj. but how do you get Maya to make one? I don't have Max so I can't export it there.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

you probably don't have the OBJ exporter loaded up, it's off by default. Goto Window --> Settings/Preferences --> Plugin Manager and check "objExport.mll" in the list and that will allow you to select OBJ as an export option

i hate it when the solution is so simple I should have known it!

But a thousand thank you's!

its not easy,- maya is just utterly dumb in this regard

I spent a few hours one day looking for an obj export plug-in. The sound my hand made when it hit my forehead was epic. Almost as epic as the sound my finger made when I hit send on the email to Autodesk letting them know that decision was full of fail and wasted time.

I hope at some point very soon Mudbox has FBX support.
