Export from Blender to Maya preserving Materials and Crease I have a character in Blender. It needs to be exported to Maya for rendering in VRAY. I need to figure out how to preserve the following:

1) Textures and UVs.

2) Material assignments to different parts of the mesh.

3) Crease. Currently the model is using a subsurf modifier in Blender, and some edges need to be creased. Maya also has options to smooth and subdivide the mesh, and it's own form of Creasing to preserve edges.

4) Group assignments of multiple objects.

5) Challenge Mode: The rig. The character will actually be rigged in Maya, so I'm not worried about this for this specific project. But it'd be nice to know how to do it in general.

What format and settings do I need? Is there one that can handle all of these issues?
Unfortunately, FBX is the only serious option currently (maybe with Collada, but that format is not much supported/developed nowadays…).

FBX can support edge crease (LayerElementCrease node), just never had time/reasons to implement that in Blender. And I'd need a simple FBX file exported e.g. from Maya, with a dummy cube and various levels of crease on its edges, to be reasonably sure we do handle it correctly…

Besides that, afaik FBX does not support/have notion of groups of objects.

It should support reasonably simple rigging, but do not expect advanced stuff (like drivers, constraints, etc.) to survive, only basic bones skinned with basic vgroups.
