Fibermesh export curves creates empty obj

I’m trying to export curves from fibermesh to maya
I select the fibermesh tool, adjust the display properties to very low, and then click Export Curves.

Everything goes as expected until I try to import the resulting obj into maya. When I import nothing happens, no node is created, and no data is imported. If I export as .ma alot of the time it won’t even make a file, and when it does then I get a popup saying “unexpected file type”.

Any suggestions?

I had this issue as well, support didnt know about the issue I guess. BUt the work around is as follows. Export the fibermesh as a .MA file… now when you try to import that into Maya, you will get an error… not cool :frowning: BUT, simply open the .MA file in a text editor, copy all the code, and paste it into Maya’s script editor and execute the script… This will create all the curves for you so you can proceed to use them for a hair system for rendering or whatever.
