Hello,

Thank you for reporting this.  It would help to have more details.  Can you please detail your specific workflow, and if you have a simple sample file, that would help too.

Regards,

Kelly

There's nothing special about the file, I tried new joints as well as new files. The result is still the same.

You just need to select export selection/ all , in the file there is a joint (whether there is a key or not). and export.
There will still be a dae file, but inside, there is no joint

Hello, team!

We are experiencing the same issue. We have an animated skeleton made in Maya 2025, and it doesn't export anything when we select File > Export All -> DAE file. Could you already fix this problem?

We're still having the same problem. Could you fix it?

I have done a lot a research on this problem.  Maya 2025 fbxmaya.mll 2020.3.6 isn't exporting the Matrices-array information for the Joints-array.  I will paste a working example from a DAE exported with Maya 2024 fbxmaya.mll 2020.3.2 and a second example from Maya 2025.

Maya 2024:

<Name_array id="pasted__DressController-Joints-array" count="24">
mPelvis PELVIS BUTT mTorso BELLY LEFT_HANDLE RIGHT_HANDLE LOWER_BACK CHEST
LEFT_PEC RIGHT_PEC UPPER_BACK mCollarLeft L_CLAVICLE L_UPPER_ARM mCollarRight
R_CLAVICLE R_UPPER_ARM mHipRight R_UPPER_LEG mKneeRight mHipLeft L_UPPER_LEG mKneeLeft</Name_array>
<technique_common>
<accessor source="#pasted__DressController-Joints-array" count="24">
<param type="name"/>
</accessor>
</technique_common>
</source>
<source id="pasted__DressController-Matrices">

Maya 2025:
<Name_array id="pasted__DressController-Joints-array" count="24">
mPelvis PELVIS BUTT mTorso BELLY LEFT_HANDLE RIGHT_HANDLE LOWER_BACK CHEST
LEFT_PEC RIGHT_PEC UPPER_BACK mCollarLeft L_CLAVICLE L_UPPER_ARM mCollarRight
R_CLAVICLE R_UPPER_ARM mHipRight R_UPPER_LEG mKneeRight mHipLeft L_UPPER_LEG mKneeLeft</Name_array>
<technique_common>
<accessor source="#pasted__DressController-Joints-array" count="24">

</accessor>
</technique_common>
</source>
<source id="pasted__DressController-Matrices">
<float_array id="pasted__DressController-Matrices-array" count="0">
</float_array>

As you can see the Maya 2025 the Matrices-array count is 0 and so has no data.  I copied and pasted the data from the 2024 DAE to the 2025 DAE and it works just fine.  I sure hope Autodesk gets this fixed soon.

Thank you for your reply
So... at this point, we can only sit down and see how our Maya 2025 licenses are worthless... fine, thank you, Autodesk!

Temporarily until Autodesk fixes the fbxmaya.mll you can export out a FBX file and use the free Autodesk FBX Converter. Google Autodesk FBX Converter and click on the result FBX Converter Archives. It is from 2013 but at least it works. Just remember when you export out your FBX file from Maya 2025 you must switch the FBX file format from version FBX 2020 to FBX 2013 or the FBX Converter won't be able to read the file correctly.

Hoping Autodesk gets it all fixed in the next update.
