Using Unity 3.4 and trying to import a simple geometry from Maya 2012, tried both the .mb format and the .ma format, just doesn’t work. I get the following message:
“Maya couldn’t convert the .mb file to an fbx file! it reached timeout of 3 minutes.”
Any ideas ?
Don’t know if this will help, since I have no experience with Maya.
But read this if you haven’t already: http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/Manual/HOWTO-ImportObjectMaya.html
Had a similar issue solved by saving the Maya file as an ASCII and then saving back to binary.
