Does Irrlicht support direct import from Maya PLE ?

Post by Weng »

Hi,

About the importing of mesh file formats, I've read from the Irrlicht's features section that it supports the direct import of Alias Wavefront Maya (.obj) .

Now that Maya is under Autodesk, does Irrchlit still support the direct import of Maya Personal Learning Edition's mesh file format? I've read the FAQ of Maya PLE. It seems that the file format for Maya PLE is .mp instead of .obj

you can't, unless you write an exporter in the scripting language of Maya (MEL) which exports your models to something Irrlicht can read, like .obj files. Maybe there are already such exporters.
