Is there an import/export script to Blender for Maya?
It may be proprietary, but then why does Blender have scripts for Lightwave and 3ds max?
Do you mean importing/exporting objects from Maya into Blender? There’s .obj import/export.
yeah; the ability to in Blender/Maya and switch back and forth.
Is that what the .obj does?
Yep! The .obj format comes from Maya (and it’s predecessors, WaveFront 3D, etc).
sweet!!
One last check; so that means I can model something in Maya and send it over to Blender, or vice versa?
It means both. Blender imports/exports .obj, and obviously so does Maya.
with obj. 3d data and uv layouts will be converted between both.
you have to convert nurbs in maya first to polys to get them into blender.
if you work in blender your poly have to be four sided if you want to use them in maya with subdivs.
claas
great! thanks for the info 
I should’ve mentioned I’m using Maya PLE. Can the PLE save as .obj?
It looks like it can only save as .mp.
Ah…Maya PLE. It only supports saving to that format, which is exclusive to the PLE version (in fact, Maya Unlimited doesn’t support .mp file import/export).
drat.
