Unity FBX Exporter Beta: Simplifying Asset Transfer Between Unity and 3D Modeling Software

The Unity Integration for Autodesk Maya and Autodesk Maya LT feature has been designed to support seamless asset transfer between the two platforms. With this integration, you can effortlessly import and export assets between Unity and Autodesk Maya, Autodesk Maya LT, or Autodesk 3ds Max.

One of the key benefits of this integration is that it allows you to maintain a connection between the original Prefab file and its updated version in Unity. This means that when you make changes to the Prefab, they will be reflected automatically in Unity without breaking the link to the file. This feature is particularly useful for grey-boxing with ProBuilder and exporting GameObjects to FBX until you can replace them with final assets.

The FBX Exporter package includes a range of features that enable round-trip workflows between Unity and 3D modeling software. With this package, you can export geometry, animation, lights, and cameras as FBX files, allowing you to transfer game data to any 3D modeling software. This means that you can send geometry, lights, cameras, and animation from Unity to Autodesk Maya, Autodesk Maya LT, or Autodesk 3ds Max, and back again, with minimal effort.

Another key feature of the FBX Exporter package is its support for FBX Linked Prefabs. With this feature, you can import an FBX file as a Model Prefab and create Prefab Variants from it. This allows you to override properties and children without affecting the original Prefab, making it easy to bring in updates.

In addition to these features, the FBX Exporter package also enables you to record gameplay and export it to make cinematics. This means that you can easily capture and edit game footage, and then import it back into Unity for further editing or use as a cinematic.

Overall, the Unity FBX Exporter Beta provides a powerful toolset for simplifying asset transfer between Unity and 3D modeling software. Whether you're working on a project in Autodesk Maya, Autodesk Maya LT, or Autodesk 3ds Max, this integration makes it easy to import and export assets with minimal effort.
