Hello all. I am just beginning to get into animating in Maya. Actually to be honest, its my first time using Maya at all.

I'm not very good with 3D stuff and this is the most I've having trouble with. I've been trying to export this model from Maya after fixing the weight painting into Blender.

Hey guys, this is my very first post so apologies if this is in the wrong section. Basically this past couple of weeks I've been trying to teach myself 3D modelling - It's going well and I can model all kinds of things in Maya, like houses, spaceships and some basic humans. I'm also learning Zbrush where I can also make…
