This started after I installed the latest update 26/1. I have installed the FBX plugin and shut down the firewall but nope... 2012-02-06T12:38:34+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/plugins---extensions/cannot-import-dpx-file-as-imageplane/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/plugins---extensions/cannot-import-dpx-file-as-imageplane/page-last/#When:18:00:58Z // Error: Unable to load the image file, 'imagetemplate.1001.dpx', for imagePlane1 Is there anyway to make this work?

I'm actually working on our asset pipeline and I'm trying to automate some FBX export. I understand how to manage FBX Export Options without the GUI (with the use of functions like FBXExportCameras -v True...). My problem is when I want to export some animation. I found the FBXExportAnimationOnly and the FBXExportBakeComplexAnimation functions, but not the one that just allow the animation, like the checkbox in the GUI (and I red the entire FBX exporter PDF). I do not want ONLY the animation, I want the animation AND the geometries to be contained in the exported FBX. If the last thing I exported with the GUI has the animation checkbox checked, my script works just fine. But if the checkbox is unchecked in the GUI, I just can't export animation with the tool. Anyone knows the magic FBXExportAnimation -v True function that is equivalent to the GUI Animation checkbox???

Thanks. 2012-01-30T07:11:41+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/plugins---extensions/fbx-import-error/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/plugins---extensions/fbx-import-error/page-last/#When:13:00:11Z I am getting some crazy normals when I try to import an FBX file. The meshes I'm trying to bring in end up looking disjointed. I can go through and manually delete each polygon and then fill in the hole, and it looks fine, but I certainly don't want to have to do that for thousands of polygons in each model. I've had this happen with every FBX I've tried to import. Any suggestions for how I can make these look smooth again? I've attached a picture to show what I mean. I've tried re-creating the UVs with planar and automatic mapping (thanks for the suggestion, seb9d), but it didn't work. Thanks for your help, Nikki 2012-01-27T13:00:11+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/plugins---extensions/bonus-tools-for-maya-7-not-showing-up-after-install63/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/plugins---extensions/bonus-tools-for-maya-7-not-showing-up-after-install63/page-last/#When:12:54:43Z So Is there anybody who has the fix for the Bonus Tools not displaying it's drop down menus? It installed in a directory above plug-ins, is that gonna be problem? Any ideas? Would some inHouse menus stomp the Bonus Tools somehow? 2012-01-27T12:54:43+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/plugins---extensions/stp-import-not-working/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/plugins---extensions/stp-import-not-working/page-last/#When:12:21:54Z The last time I imported an object that had the .stp format everything worked fine. But now I get an error message. I tried Maya 2011 with out success. It did work on another machine with Maya 2010. I can't imagine what the problem can be or how to fix it....heip Don 2012-01-25T12:21:54+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/plugins---extensions/maya-animations-export-to-collada-files/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/plugins---extensions/maya-animations-export-to-collada-files/page-last/#When:01:41:39Z Hi all, Quick question(s). We are needing to export character rigs and animations to Collada files. This is new to me so... Is there a recent plug-in for Maya 2011 vista 64x? what exactly is the extention? (.dds, .dae) Is it virtually an FBX file? Does it generate more poly's when converting skeleton over? If someone could assist that would be great. Thanks- Susan 2012-01-24T01:41:39+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/plugins---extensions/solidworks-files-to-maya/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/plugins---extensions/solidworks-files-to-maya/page-last/#When:14:28:18Z I am trying to get a solidworks file into Maya. I have access to the raw solidworks file and an iges version. I have been able to import the iges file but then I get a lot of holes in between the surfaces that maya creates. I would like to be able to make the parts of the assembly one object in Maya whether it is polys or nurbs, and so that the tessellation matches up for texturing and rendering without and holes in the pieces of the assembly. I have seen a plugin that looks like I can import the raw solidworks file but if I don't have to spend 100 on the plugin I will gladly use an alternate method. Is it better to bring the solidworks file into AutoCAD or inventor and then into Maya or Max?
