MD3 or MD2 Exporter for Maya?

NiuHaka

I'm in need of a MD3 exporter for maya. I know they exist but they are old enough that they are extremely hard to find (at least for me anyways). I actually found this site while on my search. I gotta say that this site will be much more useful to me for more than just md3 stuff. Anyways, just hoping someone here will be able to point me in the right direction. Thank you for your time.

Using Milkshape is probably a good alternative as the exporters probably wont work with any recent versions of Maya.

Actually, I had a hard time exporting md5 from maya 2009 for a previous project so i recently got hands on maya 8.5. Now I need to work with md3 and i'm hoping there is still an exporter out there for that version.

Also, I could be wrong but I thought milkshape didn't take any animation formats from maya. If it does then i'll look into it.

(Edit: I just realized that I never mentioned animations, so, yeah, I need to be able to export animations and seem to remember that people have problems when exporting their animated objects from maya to milkshape. Will continue to research this.)

The MD3 exporter for Maya 4 and 5 from The Quake Rally team is still in archive.org. The source code is still there too so if you have a programmer they may be able to build it for a newer version of Maya.
