hi, i am stil using maya 8.5
a few months ago i used the maya2egg exporter and it worked fine, i exported over 6 models at nothing was wrong, the models came out fine, textures were there, perfect
but today i tried exporting a simple maya model, only about 28 tri, the exporter reported that it had finished exproting the model, but there was no model in the directory i sent it to
i use the drag-mel script-into-maya method, notthe command prompt method. i read the manual and it said that they were identical
please help

| Quote: | Exporting scene...
Saved entire scene as temporary file: vinemodel_temp.mb
Using these arguments: maya2egg85 -a model [END]
Your scene will be saved as this egg file: vinemodel.egg
In this directory: C:/Documents and Settings/Surfing/Desktop/vine/
!!Overwrite enabled!!
'maya2egg85' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file. |

maya2egg is in your Panda3D/bin, add that path to your system's environment variable PATH, separated by a semicolon from the existing paths.

| I'm gonna ask the obvious question: does C:\Panda3D-1.5.4\bin\maya2egg65.exe actually exist? |

Does that file exist, yes or no?
If we don't get enough information from you, it's impossible for us to guess why it suddenly stops working. |

| When you open a command prompt, and type "maya2egg85 -h", do you get an error, or does that work fine? |

i use the method where you get the mel script into maya as part of the interface
so this GUI pops up when the button in the shelf is click, with several options, and when ur done with settings you press the big "export" button

| I know, but I gotta find out why the script can't run maya2egg85, therefore I'm asking if you could manually try to run it and see if that works, as I asked you in my previous post. |
