Vertex Colors from Maya to xNormal

kodde

Hey guys,

I wanted to ask if anyone knows any format which I can use to export a high poly mesh from Maya with vertex colors to be used in xNormals. I'm going to use the "Bake highpoly's vertex color" baking feature.

I've tried the included xNormal SBM format but I get some errors with it.

I have tried some other formats as well but I've had no luck in exporting in a format which also includes vertex colors.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Obj supports vertex colours, not sure if the maya exporter does though, maybe try updating it if it doesn't. FBX should support it to, but again I've never tried with maya.

Bal> There's no vertex color option for OBJ in Maya.

In Maya you can choose to export either "fbx", "DXF_FBX" or "DAE_FBX". I did not find any options for vertex color in either of these. I tried exporting it either way but with to no avail.

Also tried the OpenCollada exporter for Maya, it does have a vertex color settings. But when I re-import the exported data with this format the vertex colors are all black.
