Importing from Maya 2012

TrezRaven · Dec 2012

Hello. I'm still pretty new at this and I'm having a problem importing static meshes from Maya. I know how to export them via FBX but when I import them to UDK they always import without the curves. I'm sorry if this is a really stupid question but once again I'm fairly new.

Are you referring to spline/nurbs curves? These won't carry over and why would you want to?

if your talking about nurbs curves i would have to ask why, if your talking about animation curves, just bake all the animaiton data into the frames.

...Could he be talking about the normals?
Because when you import an FBX (Without smoothing groups), it looks blocky (Or, sharp. Lacking in "curve"), where as if you do export with Smoothing groups, it makes it look "Curved"....

Completely throwing stones here, though. He's probably talking about Nurbs curves.
