Solved How to export .GM in Maya

[The Nameless Pirate]

I recently acquired Maya and when i try export to .GM, i only get an empty error.txt file.

Is there something i am missing, am i doing something wrong?

Did you read this Tutorial?
Tutorial - Editing and Exporting Models with Maya

If not, read the PDF online (and the export process page 16)

Anyway, thanks @Bartolomeu o Portugues!!!

If you want to hide something, hide it in plain sight.

Correct, sometimes things are simple, but we overthink and we miss them.

I will read the tutorial and try again, and once i get the hang of it, i may add a new playable character and maybe a quest related to him and his adopted daughter.
Also, i may try to make the stern of "PiratFrigateSat" similar to the stern of "Frigate_Sat" but 3D.

Maya, what's your version? The plugin only works with Maya 4.5, 5.0 and 5.1
The OS does not care.

Maya 5.0, so no problem there, i must be doing something wrong, so will read the tutorial when i get the chance.

 

[Jan Marten]

the Maya plugin was used correctly.

Well, this may spoil the character i am going to add, but i tried to start by converting, simple one part models and success!!!

P.S.: Moral of the story, always check pinned threads and tutorials are really helpful when you are a beginner.
