I know you have to use .3ds or .x files ...but does anyone know if there is a way to convert maya files into either of those formats?

You should be able to export directly from Maya as .3ds files, if I remember correctly. I'm using 3d Studio Max, though.

Have you tried FILE -> EXPORT ----> 3ds?

Rather than saving the file? When I used Maya it could export to 3ds format, but perhaps the company I worked for had a plugin. Otherwise you can get for instance Milkshape 3d, which is a shareware low-poly modeller, and convert .OBJ files into .3DS. I don't know if Milkshape handles .X though.

Or you could splash out a couple of hundred and buy 3d Studio Max which can read Maya .OBJ files with a free plugin and use the free plugin PANDA to export .X files as well.

I have Deep Exploration. If you don't have a lot of models I can translate them for you Rich.

If you're interested, I'll send you the email address to use.

However I'm about to leave my internet connection for a few days. So just email your reply to my email address on my user profile.

Thanks,

Ben

EDIT: What version of Maya are you using 5.0 (PLE,Complete,Unlimited)?
