Installing the Maya FBX
Plug-in
Maya
uses the Maya FBX Plug-in to import, export, and convert files using the
FBX file format. This chapter describes how to install the Maya FBX Plug-in on
Windows®, Mac® OS X, and Linux systems.
The Maya FBX Plug-in comes
with Maya and is installed automatically. This procedure is included
so you can upgrade your Maya FBX Plug-in with later versions.
NoteThe Maya FBX Plug-in
that accompanies your version of Maya may not be the most recent
version. It is a good practice to check for updates, as each subsequent
Maya FBX Plug-in version has enhanced functionality, and is available
free. See
Web updates for
instructions on how to verify that your plug-in version is the latest.
ImportantPlug-ins run only
on the version of Maya for which they are created; verify that the
version of the Maya FBX Plug-in that you are installing is appropriate
for the version of Maya you are running.
The Maya FBX Plug-in is available
for Windows®, Mac® OS X, and Linux systems.
