To export your scene or selected objects from Maya directly to an Unreal Engine project, you can use the "Send To Unreal" feature.
Here's how to do it:
Exporting with "Send To Unreal"
This method is particularly useful if you are working with Unreal Engine and want to quickly transfer assets or your entire scene.
-
Open your Maya Scene: Ensure your scene is open in Maya.
-
Prepare for Export:
- If you only want to export specific objects, select them now.
- If you want to export the entire scene, ensure nothing is selected, or be ready to choose the "All" option.
-
Initiate the Export:
- Go to the main menu bar.
- Select File > Send To Unreal.
- From the submenu that appears, choose either:
- All (to export the whole scene)
- Selection (to export only selected objects)
-
Confirm Destination: Maya will export the selected objects or the entire scene to the specified Unreal project folder. This makes the file readily available for immediate import into your Unreal level.
This streamlined process simplifies the transfer of assets directly between Maya and Unreal Engine, as mentioned in the reference. It handles the export process and places the file in a location Unreal can access.
