.ass export don't work on maya edu 2017. Arnold 4 or 5, same result. Exporting selection to .ass don't create any file...

tried in a fresh scene, create a cube, select it and go to Arnold-->Standins-->export.

Unfortunately no file created.

here's the log :

file -f -new;
// untitled //
CreatePolygonCube;
polyCube -w 1 -h 1 -d 1 -sx 1 -sy 1 -sz 1 -ax 0 1 0 -cuv 4 -ch 1;
// pCube1 polyCube1 // 
select -r pCube1 ;
select -r aiStandIn ;
file -force -options "-shadowLinks 1;-mask 2303;-lightLinks 1" -typ "ASS Export" -pr -es "E:/[3DWORK]/[ECV_2016_2017]/L3/2017_xgen/scenes/test.ass";
arnoldExportAss -f "E:/[3DWORK]/[ECV_2016_2017]/L3/2017_xgen/scenes/test.ass" -s -shadowLinks 1 -mask 2303 -lightLinks 1-cam perspShape;

ASS export works fine in Maya 2017, with any version of Arnold.

Increase the Arnold log verbosity and check the log.

Check the script history for messages.

The file should be here: E:/3DWORK/ECV_2016_2017/L3/2017_xgen/scenes/test.ass

Those square brackets are stripped off somewhere along the way

Damnnnnnn so stupid am i !! Thank you very very much, was searching the wrong way 😉

Still, looks like an MtoA bug, because exporting a .ma file to [3dWORK] works
