Export problem from motionbuilder 7 to Maya 7

#1

Hi everybody.

Hopefully someone her can help me out with a MB problem!

When trying to export my animated characters from MB 7 to Maya 7 I either get an error message (where after the program is closed), MB exports an empty file or exports a file where everything is pretty ****ed up!

So far I have tried the following:

  1. Export to animated character by File --> Export --> select .fbx format --> export…
    Which gives me the error message that can be seen in the image error.jpg

  2. Just using the save as option in MB and save the file as a regular .fbx, which is then opened in Maya 7…
    This aproach gives me the result that can be seen in the image fbxerror_inmaya.jpg - even though the fbx plugin is installed in maya 7.

Can anyone tell what I´m doing wrong?

I have tried exporting the files using two different version of MB, since i thought it might be the program file itself, that was corrupted (due to the first error message and following shut down of the program) - and stil nothing works…
