Title: Maya to create a model?
Post by: jukeboxhero on April 23, 2009, 09:41:55 PM
Hello everyone,

I wanted to create a character (model) for OpenArena. I know how to model in Maya. Can I use Maya to create a character for OpenArena? Or do I HAVE to use Blender?

if you use Maya, then we won't be able to accept it as it can't be freely modified without a licensed copy of Maya, which can be pricey. I also can't give any technical assistance with Maya either.

if you use the muskoka plugin for maya you can model in the md3 format. but i don't think the plugin works for newer versions of maya.
in school i've gotten it to work with maya 8.5. here's a link for the muskoka project forum (http://jaymod.clanfu.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=9&sid=f2ca3aa6ed1ac5f0563842b552f0815b).
