Help. I'm trying to import an Illustrator file into Maya to animate a logo. Required result: Logo should retain original CMYK color scheme.

I have tried numerous time to import the file from Illustrator and keep getting nothing in the workspace after the import. No error messages...nada.

I read that I need to convert my vector file to paths before importing. Don't know how to do that cause I thought Illustrator files were paths and that might be my problem. Have tried exporting the Illustrator file to .AI and .EPS with no luck.

Any help preciated
