Maya "send to Mudbox" Crashes Maya. Any possible fix?

Maya 2015 and Mudbox 2015

 

 

Whenever I use the send-to command from Maya to Mudbox, Maya will crash. Same if i go from mudbox to maya.

 

Happens with a simple sphere, plane, anything. I can model and sculpt fine. I simply cannot send-to though which is the biggest factor of why id like to ditch zbrush and move to mudbox (i just like the way mudbox feels). 

 

So any possible fix?

does it crash, or just hang?  

 

Maya has two plug-ins, both located in Window->Settings/Preferences -> Plug-in Manager; one is called "objExport.mll" and the other is "fbxmaya.mll"

 

Mudbox uses these two file formats, and I've noticed that the "send to Mudbox" hangs Maya if these aren't loaded.  As a workaround, you can always export to fbx or obj, then open them up in Mudbox independently.  It's not a direct transfer, but it's an option.

No sir it crashes. A crash as in "an unknown error has occurred sorry" and shuts down crash. It appears no matter which program im sending from either maya or mudbox.

Both of those plugins are on, autoloaded.

Sounds lilke an installation/configuration issue then.  Sight unseen, I'd check out the graphics card first - you may want to look up the cards that are listed as compatible and those that have known issues, but that's just where I'd start.  Maybe someone from Autodesk will see this post and be able to give you more insight. 

 

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Whats weird is i re installed mudbox and when i tried to "send to" it just kind of stood at "exporting".. didnt do anything after that. Didnt crash, but it didnt export either.
