does Maya .ma file to ZB even work?

I can’t seem to find a real answer on this. I’ve created a simple polysphere in Maya (2010). Saved as a .ma file. Import into ZB (3.5r3). Nothing.

Nada.

I get a “Missing XYZ Vert” message in ZB. Trying the same exact thing using a .OBJ file seems to work fine.

Am I missing something? Ahould I stick to my paper route?

Thanks for the help.

I think that the .ma is for exporting from zbrush and reimporting from maya with some changes… though I prefer the obj workflow…

You need to delete the history in Maya first. Press Edit>Delete by Type>History then save the file. It should then import into ZBrush without problems.

Whew - that worked. I thought I was going crazy(er). Thank you Marcus.
