i laid out my UVs in maya, and am wondering if its possible to bring them into max and put them on the same model. i exported my model out of maya in obj format. i import in obj format in max, but i cant get my texture map to fit on her correctly. any ideas?

the .obj file has only the object exported, nothing else (all of your bones, uv's etch wil not be in that file).

I dont know how u export a maya file to 3dstudio. And I want to know that. Couse I want to animate and map the model in maya. But I need it in a 3ds file. So if anyone have the answer, post!

You might want to try the interchange format .FBX by Kaydara (www.kaydara.com). I'm not sure if they have produced a Maya 4.5-version yet, but it worked like a dream with 4.02. Geometry, UV's, shading (no bump though) and some animation too. And the best part; it's totally free!

I downloaded it and installed it, but it just won't load up in Maya (4.5). The program just stop responding. Anyone having the same problem ?

The newest version of our FBX Plugins are available here:

http://www.kaydara.com/support/download/index.php?filename=plugins

These plugins include support for Maya 4.5 , Max 5, as well as XSI.

It is recommended that all users currently using the FBX Plugins upgrade to this version.
