Hi everyone,

could someone do me a favour and convert a simple .ma file to .obj for me? I'm beginning a project in Cinema 4D that is based on a Maya tutorial. The .ma file contains simple reference geometry that would be helpful to get me started.

Thanks for you help!

Just opened your converted file in Cinema, and the funny thing is ... it's perfect. Didn't even have to scale it, the dimensions are exactly as shown in the video. Did you use specific export options for the .ma file? Usually such obj files are either way to small or way too big, unless you know what settings to use for export to a specific program.

In any case, you couldn't have made it easier for me, so thanks again!
