Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

For 6-5 you have to open up the file in note pad. look at the top:
it should say: requires maya "6.0";
or something else like that. the one with // in front of it you dont have to worry about. change the 6.0 to 5.0 so it would be:
requires maya "5.0";
You might lose some data. hardly anything noticable.
have fun!

tried opening it in notepad.....
When I opened it in notepad I just got a whole page full of unintelligeable symbols with alot of squares mixed with letters.
Also, if I did manage to change it like you suggested, how would I save it as a Maya file, as notepad only saves as .txt files.
Any help is much appreciated!!

As for saving as a maya file, just in the name put a .mb or .ma insted of the .txt
