one of my modellers uses Maya to model with
i use Max .
he has sent me the unwrap image so i can skin the model
i want to colour the unwrap so i can see how the mesh is laid out . problem is that Max does not open Maya mb or ma files so i cannot see the model with its texture .
he sent me an obj file but this only supports one map and this uses 2 . i need a file viewer for Maya format or a file converter to convert the Maya file to something Max can read. or a plug in that allows Maya to export a file format Max can read .
ohh yea the free version of Maya does not work on my computer so i cannot view it by using the free version of Maya
any ideas to this problem ..

Yes you can try exporting .iges (first turn on the "maya to alias" module in Maya's plug in manager) or you can try with deep exploration ...nice little prog that comes with deep paint 3d.
