Have fun exporting the model and getting it to work in HPL/Penumbra
If you're like me and it doesn't work, than use Maya 7.0 and collada .86
I forgot the exact website name, but I have a link for collada .86 in my tutorial-links topic, and there's a forum member that has a website which also has Collada .86 in it.
I'm currently trying to find a maya 7.0 Ple download location, because I doubt the developers encourage pirating ;-)
Please
-REP me.
Honestly, please do. I want to see how low I can go!!
Ignore that error message too. Just ignore it and keep going to give me -rep.
