Quick question about Maya

[anon_65984545]

If a 3D object was created in Maya on the PC, could it be imported into a Unity project?

You would have to export to an fbx file first if on a PC.

From this thread:

You have two options;

1. Get one copy of Mac Maya and install that on the same machines as you are running Unity. Note: we only use the batch renderer, which doesn’t require registration - so you do not need to license Maya for each Unity workstation.

2. Have the artists export FBX files on their PCs - then you import those.

Also if you dont have access to a mac maya installation disk, you might be able to download maya PLE. I am not sure, but I have a hunch it has the necessary files to import .MB or .MA, just be careful if you ever do install regular Maya. Maya and Maya PLE will conflict with each other when trying to import into unity.
