Hello

I'm curious if there is some plugin for Maya that allows objects like prims to be built in the program then rebuilt in Second life.

It would also be nice to know if there is a texture baking mel script like Qarls if there is a plugin for prims in maya.

If my wording is confusing please just ask.

Qarl had started a Maya To Second Life MEL script, but never finished it. If you search the forum, you'll find it. If you've got money to spend, there's also a third party plugin called SLTK Pro. I haven't tried it, but it looks like it works well. http://www.simtools.jp/sltk/en/index.php

SLTK appears to have limited support for texturing, but the site doesn't say anything about baking. It appears that if you want to bake textures, you'd first do it manually, then assign your newly created textures to the color channel of your materials, and then export for upload.
