Send objects to Flame

You can export your work from Maya using File > Send to Flame.

The Send to options are designed support a common, iterative, round-tripping workflow that lets a production start with a scene in a content creation application, export the content to Maya for adding detail, then merge back to the original scene.

To export to Flame

  1. Select File > Send To Flame, then select the export sub-option you want:
    • Send Selected as New Scene

      Sends only the selected objects to Flame. (If nothing is selected, Maya sends the whole scene.) The selected objects are imported into a new Action node in the active Batch or Batch FX.

    • Update Current Scene

      Updates the matching geometry in Flame the current Action schematic.

    • Add Selected to Current Scene

      Adds the selected object to the current Action schematic.

    Maya launches Flame and the scene is imported in a new Action node, in the last used Batch schematic.
    • If Flame is already running, the scene is imported in the active Action schematic.
    • If there is no Action schematic displayed, the scene is imported in a new Action node, in the Batch schematic that you most recently opened.
