Exporting rigs from maya, what works, what doesn't
A small video testing the export settings in maya for rigs. Grouping, selecting entire hierarchy and which exporter are tested. No Audio
0 - select and regular export
1 - select hierarchy and regular export
2 - group, select and regular export
3 - group, select hierarchy and regular export
4 - group, select and game exporter
5 - group, select hierarchy and game exporter
6 - ungroup, select and game exporter
The results are a little surprising (maybe not if you do a lot of exporting from maya) and demonstrates how finicky this process can be. I was looking for an export that would keep the rig and materials first and foremost with a nice grouping as a secondary. Underneath are the results
0 no rig
1 rig but no group
2 no rig
3 rig and group
4 rig and group
5 rig and group
6 rig
