You cant import .p3d files in Maya for sure. But waht you can do is convert your model to an ?? .asc file ?? then convert it back to a .3ds file and improt it in maya. You use this by doing File>Send in O2. Hope it helps! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aj_addons 0 Posted October 21, 2003 nope tried to export it last night but maya wont bloody open asc, 3ds files instead its looking for something called maya ascii or something like that i also looked at a compatability table for may and it says it supprots obj which ive got a converter for p3d's but when i look there no obj option in the file type of both import and open parts of maya   why do i get the feeling im going to have to sereach for an obscure plugin or something anyone else got any ideas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teacup 2 Posted December 22, 2003 I also use Maya for OFP modelling and animation. It is much more versatile then O2. I can tell you for sure that it imports OBJ. It also exports OBJ, but you have to load a plugin (ships with Maya) first. Go to Window > Settings/Preferences > Plug-in Manager... > load objExport.mll (the plugin). I use Right Hemisphere's "Deep Exploration" to convert the resukting OBJ to 3DS, so i can feed it to O2. You should be able to export to O2 your geometry, normals and UV mapping. Anyway, there are plenty of file formats you can use to transfer data from O2 to Maya and viceversa, all you need is a file translator like "Deep Exploration".
