Well, it looks like there are a lot of fibermesh conversion plugs out there

This is my contribution, a free script to convert fibermesh to maya curves:

fibermesh_to_curves.py

Currently the main drawback in maya, is that every curve is a single item, so after a certain number the scene becomes slower.
Anyway curves should be used as guides, not to be rendered as they are. In the next release (maybe tonight) I will add a control to generate only a certain percent amount of curves.

To use it:
- copy the script in your script folder
- in a shelf button, copy this code:


Please let me know if you'lll find some bugs and I will fix them
