Importing Cameras and Lights from Maya
« on: June 26, 2017, 07:59:36 PM »
Is it possible to do this? I've tried it by importing a whole Maya scene, but Unity seems to grey out all the attributes for the lights and cameras. Unity keeps their positions just fine, but they don't function as they do in Maya.

Do I need to export them from Maya first before I import it into unity?

Thanks all.

Sorry, as far as I know, lighting information cannot be imported from third party software. Lighting needs to be built in unity, as it uses its own behind the scene mathematics to do that.

Awwww, nuts!

Ok, thanks man. I thought that might be the case but I wasn't really sure.

I appreciate it!
