Import/export OpenFlight files
 
 
 

To load the OpenFlight file Translator

  1. Open Maya and select Window > Settings/Preferences > Plug-in Manager.
  2. Click the loaded check box for the Open/Flight plug-in, fltTranslator.

OpenFlight is a 3D file format. The file importer/exporter is an OpenMaya plug-in. Any of the Beads that can be imported into Maya can also be exported (see Supported OpenFlight Beads).

The exported file contains a subset of the imported data. External file or texture references point to the referenced files in their current directories. Should it be necessary to move an exported file to a location that does not allow access to the original file references, these referenced files can be copied into the same directory as the target OpenFlight file and the references read correctly.
