Now with glTF + GLB Import

glTF
Exporter

A two-way glTF workflow for Maya. Export clean, portable glTF 2.0 files, then bring GLB and glTF scenes back with geometry, PBR materials, textures, hierarchy, cameras, and supported lights reconstructed.

Send it out.
Bring it back.

Built for artists who move assets between Maya, web, mobile, AR, Blender, and real-time tools without wanting to rebuild the important scene data by hand.

01 / IMPORT

Reconstruct glTF in Maya

Imports GLB and glTF meshes, transforms, hierarchy, normals, UVs, vertex colors, multi-material assignments, cameras, and supported lights.

02 / EXPORT

Production mesh delivery

Exports triangulated geometry with positions, normals, tangents, UVs, optional vertex colors, and multi-material primitive splits.

03 / MATERIALS

Portable PBR

Translates modern Maya shading to metallic-roughness PBR and rebuilds imported materials as connected Maya standardSurface networks.

04 / TEXTURES

Textures travel with the scene

Copy external textures, embed them in GLB, or extract embedded images on import so Maya scenes keep persistent file paths.

05 / SCENE DATA

Hierarchy, cameras, lights

Preserves transform matrices and hierarchy, with perspective and orthographic cameras plus point, spot, and directional lights.

06 / SAFETY

Validated and reversible

Strict accessor bounds checks, clear unsupported-feature warnings, structured reports, and complete Maya Undo rollback protect the scene.

New in version 1.3

Bring GLB and glTF back into Maya.

The importer reads standard glTF buffers, embedded GLB images, matrix or TRS transforms, interleaved accessors, normalized vertex data, and triangle list, strip, and fan primitives.

Scene reconstruction

New

Rebuild usable Maya nodes instead of receiving a flattened display-only asset.

  • standardSurface PBR networks
  • External and embedded textures
  • Hierarchy, cameras, and punctual lights

Honest diagnostics

Unsupported data is reported instead of silently disappearing, and failed imports roll back as one Maya Undo action.

  • Strict buffer bounds validation
  • Required extension checks
  • Animation, skin, morph, and compression warnings

One file or an open package.

GLB

Recommended

A self-contained binary file with geometry, materials, and embedded textures. Best for iPhone, web viewers, sharing, and handoff.

  • Single portable file
  • Embedded images
  • Simple upload and delivery

glTF

A readable JSON scene plus a binary buffer and texture folder. Best when developers need inspectable, replaceable assets.

  • Human-readable scene data
  • External textures
  • Pipeline-friendly structure
Modern shading support

Built around the materials artists actually use.

Export walks connected shading graphs and prepares the maps glTF viewers expect. Import rebuilds portable metallic-roughness data as connected standardSurface materials with usable Maya texture nodes.
