Three.js Maya Export

Exports Maya models to Three.js' JSON format. Currently supports exporting the following:

• Vertices
• Faces
• Normals
• UV sets
• Shaders/Materials
• Per-Face material indices
• Diffuse Maps
• Specular Maps
• Bump/Normal Maps
• Bones
• Skins (configurable influences per vertex)
• Skeletal animation
• Morph Target/Vertex Cache animation
• Multiple Characters per scene

Installation

Install pymel. Though the docs are way out of date, the process described still works as of 2014.

Copy the scripts and plug-ins folders to the appropriate maya folder, where maya-version is your current version of Maya (eg. 2013-x64).

• Windows: C:\Users\username\Documents\maya\maya-version
• OSX: ~/Library/Preferences/Autodesk/maya/maya-version
• Linux: /usr/autodesk/userconfig/maya/maya-version

After that, you need to activate the plugin. In Maya, open Window > Settings/Preferences > Plug-in Manager and enable the checkboxes next to threeJsFileTranslator.py.

Usage

Use the regular Export menus within Maya, select Three.js.
