Unity can work with .mb files but it’s really an automated fbx conversion.
\nI recommend creating assets in a separate folder since deleting assets deletes the actual files and you may want to have backups and intermediate version as well.
\nMy suggestion is to create a messy production folder outside of the Unity project.<\/p>\n
Make sure you install and activate Maya’s fbx and 3ds import plugins.
\nThe plugin manager is cunningly hidden in Windows > Settings\/Preferences
\nThe plugins are cryptically named: fbxmaya.mll and 3dsImport.mll check loaded and autoloaded<\/p>\n
-File import > fbx
\n-Mesh > Optimize > Cleanup, especially non-manifold geometry, lamina faces
\n-UV mapping: modeling > UV > Automatic
\n-Use mesh > combine and separate to group and split objects that need to be manipulated independently (it really depends on the project)
\n-edit > delete by type > history
\n-(recommended) Select each of the objects and rename their transforms and\/or mesh in the attribute editor
\n-move the pivot to the where you want it (usually touching ground). Select object, move tool > tool settings (double click on the move tool) > edit pivot > translate the pivot with the help of snap to grid or points
\n– Move the object you want to export to the center of the grid
\n– select the object and file > export selection as fbx to the Unity asset folder. If there are textures check “embed media”<\/p>\n
