Maya PLE to Maya 7 <---POSSIBLE??

adam

Hey gang,

Is it possible to convert models/scenes that were created in Maya PLE to Maya 7? I've googled a couple of times and have come up dry. I figure if anyone knows the answer to this its you guys.

Thanks!

Also, PLE lets you export to .fbl but M7 won't allow that to be imported.

As far as I know, PLE does something to the files, doesn't it? I've only used it once though, a long time back.

MoP

FBL format is only used for transfer to the Motionbuilder PLE version.

Are there any game tools for Maya PLE that export models in game formats? You might be able to put a mesh into UnrealEd then export it as .ASE and convert, or even use something like Milkshape as an intermediary.

There's no way that I know of that you can go straight from PLE to full version, I've tried before.

we tried the same thing in my class, it doesn't work

PLE only imports it directly into the UnrealED editor, it won't let you have the files

Maya PLE does not export .psk files? If yes, you can take the psk plugin of UT2003/4 Upaint application and put it into the plugin directory of right hemisphere´s Deep Exploration. This would allow you to open a .psk file in Deep Exploration which can export to various 3D formats.

Well, if you can export into UnrealEd, I'm pretty sure if you place a custom model in the world, there's an option somewhere in UEd to export static geometry as .ASE, which you could probably open in Maya 7.
Other than that, the only thing that would work is as Husch says.

I think the only ways are going through what Husch and Mop are saying. You'd just need UnrealEd to export back into Maya.

I second... or third.. the going through UnrealED method. Worked for me.
