Importing Maya Objects with Textures

Learned today: Bake the textures onto the MAYA object before exporting. In MAYA, select the object texture and texture in the hypershade. Go to the EDIT menu and select the option box on convert file to texture.

When importing objects with a heirarchy from MAYA into Virtools, be sure to name each component uniquely, otherwise Virtools will give a confusing naming system to each object in the hierarchy.
