Reiramon Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Hello,I wanted to install Collada for my Maya.However I encountered a problem.I have no idea how to install it and spent an hour to find out.I found this https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenCOLLADA/tree/master/COLLADAMaya .I opened the Installation guide and thats where I got stuck.How do I work with this files? Just right click make a copy?It says to copy ColladaMaya.mll into my Maya plug-ins dir but I do not see any file named ColladaMaya.mll in any of those directories on that site.Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cathy Foil Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Hi Reiramon, What version of Maya are you using? I think Maya 2010 and newer comes with a DAE collada export. Open Maya and click the menu at the top named Window > Settings/Preferences > Plug-in Manager. Once the Plug-in Manager window is open scroll down and look for "fbxMaya.mll". Put check marks in "loaded" and "auto load". I usually click "Refresh" just to be safe and then "Close". Now you can export mesh out as a DAE file. Just select your mesh and click File > Export Selection. In the export window type the name you want your mesh to have and in the "Files of type:" select DAE_FBX(*.dae) If your Maya is a newer version that is all you need. You don't have to export as an FBX file and convert to a DAE file using the free Autodesk FBX Converter. Let me know if that works for you. Hope that helps.

Reiramon Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 Thank you! I have not actually checked all the export options and did not see it there! Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
