This is my last post on this topic. Did you try importing the dae file into maya 2012. Not the maya scene. I just imported it into my 2012 version and it works fine. This is not really all that hard to do. You open maya. Then drag and drop the unzipped dae into the perspective view. THAT'S IT....

I mean where is your teacher for this?

Come on guys, let's not egg each other on. Some people need a little more guidance than others.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

If Chavfister wasn't trying to be helpful, I doubt you would've gotten more than two posts out of him if any at all, he helps others around this board and I'm assuming also that he just didn't want to spoon feed you because if you're having trouble with this, Maya is most likely going to rake you over the coals down the road.

And anyone in a position to help you has done some heavy lifting so the "Cant you just make life easy for a newbie and just explain it?" and not wanting to download a small and free program in order to get the model you like so much smacks of laziness and probably didn't go over so well, especially since he searched for model, told you how to import it and even posted files himself. We try to help each other on these boards and calling someone bitter after they went out of their way to help is not cool.
