Installation

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.

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. Maya rejects plug-ins created for different versions.

The Maya FBX Plug-in is available for Windows®, Max® OS X, and Linux systems.
