Is there any possibility to "convert" a PLE animation to Maya? Any suggestions are welcome! cheers,

I dont think its possible. What you do in PLE stays in PLE :(

As with SideFX and what they are doing with the Houdini conversion...Alias might do the same...

Basically with Houdini if you use their learning edition, the provide a one time transfer of files from learning to full version, with your full version purchase of course...

I do not know if Alias offers this... Does anyone know?

i think there is no chance! but you can try to change the header in the asci file of the project. good luck.

Well doesn't PLE support MEL? If it does, then it would be possible, though it would take you some time to learn the structure of Maya's ASCII filetype, and then write the actual plugin to export the whole scene...

Actually, MEL isn't supported just because of this, right?

I am just a newbie at Maya, so advanced mel is out of the scope for me, question remains, has anyone sucessfully transferd files from PLE?
