Hey Community,
at first: my englisch is very bad but I have a Problem with installing Maya.
I want to install the Maya_i3d Exporter on my PC but there's Windows 8 and I can't install Maya without Extract Files (Discription: Maya Profile path couldn't be found. Please start Maya at least once to create this Profile path. You can extract files an install the plugin maually. [...] )
But when I Extract Files there is no Button to install.
Can someone help me please or give a discription how it work.
Thanks...

Hi,

would be interesting if you have really started maya before you tried to install the i3d exporter.

Assuming yes, here is a link for a howto install the exporters manually:

Hope that helps.


Cheers,

Hello,

Everything I have read says that I need to start and close maya at least once before the exporter will work.

Maya costs $185.00 a month for a subscription. This moddind prodgect is just a way to spend some time with my 13 year old son.
Any suggestions would be appreciated

Hi,

Autodesk offers a free version for students - eventually this might be an option for your son?
(I'm not sure about the detailed requirements of the free/student version, it might not be applicable in this case, but have a look and try to find out ;) )

Cheers,
Emil

If thought i read somewhere that we are supposed to use the Giants Editor instead of Maya. I was able to watch some of the tutorial videos (which are very techinical and talk above everyone) and he showed we will need photoshope and download an extensiton to convert images to .dds.
The link for the videos on youtube is

The person who posted the video name is william schweer in case the link is bad

Hi,

photshop is not required.
There are also other image editing programs which can convert images from any format to .DDS

Cheers,
Emil

Hi,

if you do not know how to install maya please contact Autodesk.
We are not responsible for that product ;)

If you can't install the i3d tools/exporter ... well ...
It's hard to say ...
The installation is very easy - just run the "maya_i3d_exporter_6.0.2_win.exe", which can be downloaded here:
http://gdn.giants-software.com/downloads.php


Cheers,
Emil
