Hello together,

I would install the exporter for Maya 2015.
I downloaded the installer for the plugin and installed it. When I insert the script lines in Maya and execute it, it says that the I3DExportValidate.mll is missing. I searched around and can't find it. I tried to install the plugin manually. I extracted the files and there's no I3DExportValidate.mll.
Where can I get this file?
Hope anyone can help me.

Good Morning,

I get the exporter working.
With the new version the exporter doesn't need the I3DExportValidate.mel anymore.
It would be nice, when the documentation will be updated soon so the users know it.
It takes me hours to find it out what the failure is. That's not good!

Have a nice day!

P.S.: For them they have the same problem.
Use this in the script editor:

loadPlugin -qt "C:/Users/<YOUR NAME>/Documents/maya/2015-x64/scripts/I3DExporter2015-x64.mll";
source I3DExportUI;
I3DExport;

This will work!

I have Windows 10 on my computer. But the program is available for Windows 8, and so I can not use the program. I hope soon there is a version for Windows 10th.

Hi,

just try install it anyway.
I guess it should work.

If not you could still try the manual installation.

Cheers,
Emil

Hi,

as the error says Maya has to be installed and started at least once.
After you have started Maya, close it and try to use the installer again.

Cheers,
Emil

Hi,

here is an howTo for the manual installation:
https://gdn.giants-software.com/documentation_exporter.php

There you will find hints on how to handle it.

But, it is a little bit outdated.
So, pay attention and stick to the tips named in this thread ;)

Cheers,
Emil

Emil,
the automatic installation will not find my Maya2015.
So i installed the new exporter manually.
But i can´t export something. By start the export it will be canceld.


Emil Drefers (Unknown) 19.11.2015 08:28
Hi,

did you start Maya at least once before you started the installation of the exporter?

Do you use a legal copy of Maya?

What is the error message in Maya when you try to start the i3d tools/exporter ?

Cheers,
Emil

Andreas Streck (Unknown) 19.11.2015 09:40
Hi,

Emil Drefers (Unknown) 19.11.2015 16:35
Hi,

Cheers,
Emil

Andreas Streck (Unknown) 20.11.2015 08:29

I don't not what I can do.

Help me pls

Emil Drefers (Unknown) 05.02.2016 08:45
Hi,

@yannickas: Please start Maya at least once before you try to install the exporter plug in.
If that doesn't work, you can have a look at our webppage to see how you can install the exporter manually:
https://gdn.giants-software.com/documentation_exporter.php

@softfox: You can try to set a path for the export manually first. Afterwards the automatic path generation should work.

Cheers,
Emil
