Question by GingeryBeard · Aug 18, 2017 at 08:32 AM · import maya convert 3d model timeout

Maya couldn't convert the .mb file to an .fbx file after a timeout of 3 minutes.

Hi!

I'm trying to update a super old project to Unity 2017.1 where I need .ma files, but every time I try to import these files I get the error message "Maya couldn't convert the .mb file to an .fbx file after a timeout of 3 minutes." I've recently installed Maya 2018 on my PC and it works fine to open up the files in there. It seems like Unity is mistaking the files as the wrong file type but how do I fix that?

Whenever I try to reimport the files Unity freezes for some minutes and then the error pops up again. I've tried some the suggestions from this thread: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/673792/maya-couldnt-convert-mb-file-to-an-fbx-file.html but with no success.

Do I need a specific version of Maya or how can I solve this problem?
