Maya 2015 to Unity

I have been messing around with Maya 2015, (I am really new to Maya) and I made a little model to import into my Unity project, but when I attempt to import it, Unity crashes and when I start it back up, only the Maya file is there, no model, I saved it has a Maya binary file and I am not sure what I am doing wrong, can anyone help me?

Suggest you use mayalt - it literally has Send To Unity function

Is MayaLT separate software or is it a service pack for Maya 2015?

This is separate version targeting game dev so you don’t have all functionalities provided from standard maya 2015 ( maya LT is less expansive too )

Try exporting as an FBX file from Maya.

^this^

there is a bug that hangs the importer for maya 2015 binary currently
