Baya is a Blender tool that generate Maya source file (.ma) inside Blender.

Note: Baya is compatible only with Blender 4.0+ and orientation isssue is fixed.

How is it useful

• Baya is a quick way to exchange data with other artists who might use Maya
• You can iterate quickly when you work with Maya oriented game engine exporters by quickly generating Maya source and exporting using Maya
