  • Workflow Between Maya and Element 3D?

    Posted by Lillian Young on May 11, 2013 at 4:52 pm

    I cannot find a tutorial on this. I thought it was as simple as exporting a Maya obj and importing that into E3D, but it comes in with oddities.

    Specifically, I have imported an extruded half sphere. the extruded part appears transparent like there is a glass dome over the solid part.

    Please assist or re-direct me. Thanks!

    I don’t know Maya at all and I’ve only ever used Blender, but I know you have to export the obj as triangles and that if a section ever appears blank from Blender you need to either select “draw backfaces” in Element or go back into Blender and recalculate the normals. I don’t know if that would be helpful or not…
