Hey Ty, i really like your age so far! I also like to work in Maya. Any idea how to export from Maya and import into Blender? :D

Harrison, I'm not a Maya user, but I imagine that there's an export option under the menu which you save from. Click on export and choose .obj (the buttons may be different, or in a different layout. this is my Blender-centric idea of how it SHOULD work :P). Then, fire up Blender, choose import>.obj and click OK! I'm not sure if this preserves texturing, but it should be simple enough to re-texture in Blender.

Nice work Ty! I like all the detailing- it really does look like a real place (except for the rendering method used. but that doesn't matter, it's still great)!

This methed works well, except you will have to re-size everything. I have not tinkered much with Blenders interface so I dont know if you can hit a button that will make everything appeare as is. (Exporting is a tricky thing)


PS-Thanks guys I'm glade you like the Age so far.

PSS-indeed the rendering could be better. :)
