The plugin converts NURBS and SubdivSurface objects to polygon objects using the following MEL commands: nurbsToPoly and subdivTOPoly.Īll geometry data is scaled according to the factor chosen. The objects themselves are exported as polygon objects. For example, if you assign a reflectivity texture to a Lambert material in BodyPaint 3D, when you return your work to Maya this texture cannot be applied to the material automatically.
