Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Hi guys, I was wondering if you know of a file previewer that can preview OBJ/DAE/FBX or even .ma files without actually opening it in Maya. Just like how you can preview jpegs/tgas in other apps. Transporting old 2009 maya files to 2012 at the moment, I have a bit of an asset sorting issue. Unfortunately im not too diligent in naming conventions. XD

(if this isn't the thread/forum for this topic, my apologies!)

There's an FBX plugin for Quicktime.
