Maya Scene Converter

Work in progress

Maya Scene Converter is a python-based Qt tool for converting scenes from a render engine to another in Maya, it is not a perfect conversion and it depends on rules files and how good they are but gives you a great head start.

Features

• Creates rules to convert from a source render engine to a target render engine
• Easy UI to create, save and load the rules
• Supports all shading related nodes: Materials,Textures,Utilities and Lights
• Converts all the scene or selected objects
• Scans the scene for any node or only what belongs to the source engine
• Some ready examples of rules files (not very precise but very functional)
• Prints info about all conversions
• Tested with Windows only but could work on other operating systems
• Tested with Maya 2018+ but could work on previous versions
