Re: [URGANT] Fixing a Maya MA file!?
Okay, I read somewhere that I could try and find the problem in the MA file, so I opened it in the script editor and ran the code.

" why not just save WHAT IS MADE rather than saving the STEPS IT TOOK TO GET THERE" the point of an ascii scene file is it can be parsed an written by third party apps and scripts. a ma file is essentially a mel script. so for instance you can have a compositing app write out a maya scene which has 3d lighting data that…
