really quick question.
I need to get a file from 4.5 to 4.0 will FBX work ok for that? Are there any other solutions...no animations or anything...just the model right now.
Thanks,
B

This thread might offer some insight for whole scene files:

Else, outputting to FBX (or OBJ even, if it's just models) should work fine too. ;)

cool thanks.
I got my Maya class tomorrow and have a model i need to get done...they have 4.0 and I'm on 4.5 so this should help me out a bunch.
Thanks!

Im sure this is already mentioned in the thread that ceql posted (i didn't look at them) but someone asked this question on the AW site a while ago so I made a short easy tutorial on how to do this so if you want check it out-

I realize some steps (like the last few) are completely obvious and unneccesary, but ya gotta make sure you cover everything in a tutorial :p
