   Importing geometry from Maya
  Hi,Does anyone out there know good links to information on how to read Maya files in order to import geometry, textures ect. of 3D models to use in a  3D engine?ThanksAntoan  
  I think Maya can export .obj files, which are ascii and quite easy to load.  ;  You can also write your own import/export plugin. Read the Maya SDK documentation, there are some examples to do this.;  Thanks guys.I''ve found some tutorials on loading obj and 3ds files (www.gametutorials.com). I''ve also looked at the game specific api of maya - MDApi but I haven''t so far found any well explained tutorials for loading models like for the above formats so I think I''ll concentrate on3ds files for now. What format do you think is more popular/convenient with the gaming community when it comes to Maya and 3D Max? I saw a poll which showed that more people preffer 3D Studio.Thanks and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
