Netvudu Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 hi there. Trying to fix somebody else´s pipeline here Does anybody know if it´s possible to export curves from Maya, and how? The problem is that I have these hair guides created in Maya, but apparently the stupid Autodesk app doesn´t understand curves made of polygons(!!??) so the usual exporting methods won´t work here. I was wondering how to export them. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haggi Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Don't know if it works but now houdini and maya support alembic. Or - a bit more complex - you can try the maya to mantra plugin: openMaya, but thats maybe a bit too extreme for your needs. The advantage is that you automatically get .geo or .bgeo files from your maya objects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
