So, the current vote is 58 yes...and 3 would not be bothered by the existence of a MM forum.

First of all, I am glad that 3 people on the planet would not be bothered by an MM forum.

Secondly...ummm...58 interested users?  Time to look for a new MM product.  Of course, Autodesk’s response to the forum request for one of their own products did not help.

I’m really in favor of having a Match Mover forum; particularly since Match Mover 2011 x64 installs but will not launch… :) Either way, all of my indirect comments aside, I’m totally new to Match Mover & a dedicated support forum would be awesome; truly, I’m just really happy that something finally replaced the way outdated Camera Tracker that has been in Max forever - thanks Autodesk.

I’m quite disappointed this doesn’t get any attention from AD, although it’s been pointed out at several instances on the Area and been reported to customer support. If at least someone would clearly say there won’t be an MM forum on the Area the community might take things in their own hands. But I don’t see why that would be necessary.

Why would anyone be against a MM forum?  Especially Autodesk because it’s their product.  One would think that if anything they (Autodesk) would be all for it.

come on AD, how do you expect people to learn and use the stuff you give away if you don’t support it.  Let’s have forum PLEASE and we’ll support and teach ourselves. thanks

Is it possible to load a sequence from a network drive in MM2011?  Can’t seem to select anything but local drives?  I’m guessing it’s because network drives would be too slow (maybe) or just an oversight in the coding team??

Network drives are working OK here.

Hi,
Does anyone know about exporting FBX file from MM to Maya Composite (Toxik)? I saved a file as FBX on MM and I can’t importing it into Maya Composite. I overcome this problem by saving MM file as Maya and then export FBX file from Maya to Composite.

I never had any luck exporting FBX from MM. I have to use .ms (MaxScript) to get it into Max. Never tried getting it to Composite.

Nobody told me there was a MM forum hidden away in the Maya section (I never look in there being a Max user).
Looks as if it appeared in December 2009, just a few months after I started this thread.

Wow!  That’s cool Samab.  Why is it tucked away in here?  Can we not get it to be made more readily available for everyone?  I’m sure Steve will have the answer. :)

I never venture into the Maya forums - if I’d noticed it I would have let y’all know…

Not sure what I can do about it - I don’t have the authority to create forums and such, only annoy other posters by editing their posts and locking threads ;)

I also don’t understand why it’s lumped in with maya - I will ask around and see what I can find out - about as much as I can do, I’m afraid.

I’m assuming that it is a forum for general use of MM, not specifically those using it with Maya, so I think anyone using MM can post there, correct me if I’m wrong.
The concern is that with it’s placement it may go unnoticed by many non-Maya users with questions about MM, and more importantly experienced MM users with answers. It does seem like one of the quieter forums.
I only spotted it by chance when I saw an MM question in the Latest Posts on the Forum Home page.
At least those who subscribed to this thread should now be aware of it, though it looks like many more voted for it than have posted here.

IMO there should be either an MM forum within each major product (Max, Maya, XSI) or it should be considered a “major” product in its own right with its own top-level forum. Expecting users to look in an otherwise unrelated area of the site is not the best of ideas.

I have emailed the appropriate person, no reply as yet. If I don’t get one by the end of the week I’ll email someone else - poke the hornets nest, so to speak.

I think a MM forum would be better suited as a top level forum, but I only say that because at this point I would feel lucky to get one; truly, a software specific MM forum would be nice; however, it just seems like it would probably be too much trouble for the powers that be to create.  On the other hand, a top level forum for MM does not sound that bad because there would be a lot more individual input that may, or may not help a specific situation - just a thought.  Either way, thanks for passing this on Steve.

I think a general MM forum would be best, since it’s the same program we are all using regardles of the 3D app the result is exported to and it will involve a wider community of users to share knowledge. IMO that would be better than a number of separate MM forums for users of different 3D apps. Some users may be using it to create tracking for software other than Max, Maya or XSI, like compositing programs or other non Autodesk packages.

I would tend to agree - it’s a product in its own right so it deserves its own forum. I wouldn’t argue if that forum contained Max/Maya/Xsi/Other sub-forums though. as dumping everything into a single “General Discussion” sub-forum might get a bit messy.
Either way around, it would be nice if the issue were addressed.

I too would love to see a MM forum. What’s the point putting MM in the subscription whit no support? Don’t get it?
