If you export to Maya using FBX you can have an already rigged character.

I'll have to investigate the Maya OBJ importer issue. Perhaps this is your solution (I don't use Maya): http://simplymaya.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23371 or http://forums.cgsociety.org/archive/ind ... 58878.html, http://www.creativecrash.com/forums/gen ... g-problems
A general tip: avoid non-ASCII characters and spaces in your file name when exporting, maybe that helps.

Yes. Or you find your own solution in Maya, but then you're on your own. I mention it because you asked for a script (the tutorial uses a Blender script).

Reading this I think I know what the problem is:
http://www.fuse-design.org/blog/tutoria ... ter-import

When importing a file in Maya, it uses the filename for the namespace of the imported object. I have a suspicion you used spaces in your filename, and that Maya namespaces do not accept spaces.
so: do not use spaces in filename! (this is a good advice in general, never ever use spaces in filenames unless you want trouble)

yes but as i learn to skin .. i learned i select the bones like arm and skin , legs .. etc
i can do this using file exported from alpha 7
but alpha 8 1 piece .. nothing in outliner

but alpha 8 1 piece .. nothing in outliner

We abandoned the facegroups in Alpha 8
But if you really want to learn skinning you're better of with the A8 mesh, the facegroups of the A7 mesh is kind of cheating.

The latest version of the blender scripts is always included with your makehuman download (be it nightly package or svn checkout).
Look in the tools/blender folder of your MakeHuman directory.
