Hello This is a common problem with option variables in Maya. If it occurs for more people I'll hotfix around it, but for now you can try this in the script editor under "Python": import pymel.core as pm pm.optionVar["menuFBXOptVar"] = 2014 After executing those two lines you should be able to run NSFBX.

Hi Martin. The issue is somewhat OK now. Please try to Import an FBX into UE4, using FBX 2014. Unreal Crashes and gives a Fatal Error. Not sure if it respects the FBX format, otherwise it does export .

Hi Martin. This issue is unrelated to what we're seeing. If you export an FBX manually from Maya to UE4 (we're using 4.9 but it's unrelated to the topic) the Mesh imports absolutely fine, with Maya's Native export Selected, FBX options (2014), etc. If however the same mesh, with nothing changed is exported from NSFBX to UE4 at either Import or Re-Import the engine will crash. This happens because of 2 reasons: 1 - The Exporter plug-in isn't respecting and/or enforcing the 2014 FBX version 2 - The Geometry exported was exported with another FBX Version (2015 - 2017). Hope that helps clarify.

Hello, This is a weird issue. It is possible it is due to some other issue. The value being sent to pm.mel.FBXExportFileVersion() is correct though, as can be verified by placing a print statement before that row: print("FBX version is %s")%FBXver ...and then running NSFBX and exporting. When you export manually in Maya, are you including or excluding animation data?
