Export curves to paths out of Maya?

malcolm · Mar 2011

Is it possible to export curves out of maya as paths that can be read into photoshop? I know the reverse to be true getting curves into maya but I want the other way round.

Hmmm... A friend wrote a script to export out UVs and import as a PSD path layer so imagine it's possible.

Can you export to EPS? (encapsulated postcript) this is how you'd get paths out of max and into photoshop.

The biggest problem I can see is that maya does not use bezier curves like photoshop. the only kind of path avaliable is NURBS.

I can apparently do both .eps and .ai for illustrator through the Maya vector render but both files seem to create an empty file. Following a tutorial online but no luck.

try to render curves out of maya into .ai or .eps for further use in illustrator, but as already mentioned above, the files come out empty. what is the trick about that? did anyone find the solution?
