Great stuff. Thanks a lot for this one.

I noticed there's a 4.5 scene file included. Is it possible using 4.5 to save a scene in 4.0 format? Just wanted to see if someone with 4.5 could make it available for those of us with 4.0. If not, it's no big deal.

Thanks for the link. I don't think that helps in this scenario. I presume the 4.5 file also needed to be saved as an ascii file to do this.

i'm pretty new to SM and maya. Hell, i'm still trying to figure out how to make shapes and stuff. but if there is one thing that helps me out, it's the vidoe tuts. they are great. is there an archive somewhere? I'm sure that there's many that I haven't seen.

actually, all of them should be up. The site isn't that old, but there's a lot to choose from. As the coming weeks, months (heck, years!) go by, I'm sure they'll fill up considerably.... too much to watch! lol

Thanks!

BTW, I re-saved out my Maya 4.5 file as a .ma file, and changed all the 4.5 references in it to 4.0, and it imported fine for me.

Here's the .ma file of the set complete with the camera, and lights.

You'll need to go into the hypershade, and re-map the textures to the geometry, but theres only 4 peices, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

Sorry for the version issue.
