Shifter's FBX Export not working

Hi.

Trying to export a skeletal mesh from maya using the Shifter’s FBX Export tool and I keep getting this error:

ERROR: Export Failed
Return Code: 1
Mayabatch process failed.
Error:

Why does this happen? I’ve tried it with and without enabling unreal engine export. I’m using maya 2023.1.

Thank you in advance.

Not sure about this one.
Is that the complete error log?
@SimonA Do you have any idea about this error?

Hey @REB900, Thank you for brining this to our attention,

I will look into this and get back to you…

Sorry for the late reply, what happens is that the black window suddenly disappears after the progress bar turns red. The error log I sent is everything that is displayed in maya’s script editor after the process fails. There’s nothing else.

I can reproduce this error using one of our rigs. I will keep you updated on the progress

Hi @REB900,

I was wondering is your geometry group or your skeleton root at the root of the scene? If so add them to a group, doesn’t matter as its only for export

I have fixed a bug that I think might be what you have encountered as I noticed some bugs that could occur if your groups are at the root. This fix will be rolled out in the coming weeks once I have done some further testing, after which you wont need to add the ugly group fix.

Let me know if that helps you
