Hi:
I would like some pointers on how to import/export data from Maya via files with BodyPaint. I am aware of the Exchange plugin but unfortunately, I am running Maya on another platform (not compatible with Bodypaint). I need functionality similar to the plugin but via files exported from Maya (imported into bodypaint).
I would be thankful if someone can point me in the right direction on how to go about doing this.
What information can bodypaint import from files?
   obj format?, turn all nurbs to polys?,
   how do i represent lights, material, texture bindings etc.

Thanks
