Title: export materials to maya
Post by: lsm4968 on 2020-08-18, 10:05:42

Hi, I'm working together with someone who uses Maya mainly.
I tried to export my models and textures(made and rendered in cinema 4d and corona renderer), but it seems like only materials made as cinema 4d materials are exportable with fbx.
Does anyone know what'd be the best way to export my files for Maya?
I tried abc, obj and fbx, and abc seems like it cannot export material together, and fbx and obj don't bring materials from corona.

I understand it's hard to take all the materials into maya without any retouch, but I'm trying to find the least complex workflow or something better than retexturing everything in Maya or in basic C4d materials.
Most of the files are with quite many materials like the image. (plz see the attachment)

Hope someone has a clue for this! :)

Hi, it's not possible as texture baking is not supported at this time. If these are just standard pbr materials then you may need to recreate these in Maya. Materials made within Corona will only work with the host software.
