🔁 SyncTools Pro for Maya

One-click copy & paste of Maya scene data into Blender — and back.
Move meshes, materials, lights, cameras, and animations between Maya and Blender with a single shortcut. SyncTools Pro runs as a native menu inside Maya and a sidebar tab inside Blender, communicating through a unified FBX-based exchange protocol — no manual exporters, no settings juggling.
What gets transferred
• Meshes — geometry, normals, UV sets
• Materials — PBR + Octane sync
• Skeletons — joints, weights, bind poses
• Animations — baked keyframes & clips
• Lights & Cameras — full transforms
• Hierarchy — parenting preserved
Overview

A clipboard for your 3D scenes

Stop wrestling with FBX exporters, scale settings, and material breakage every time you move work between Maya and Blender. SyncTools Pro turns the Blender/Maya pipeline into a familiar Copy/Paste action: select objects, hit Ctrl + Shift + C in the source app, switch apps, hit Ctrl + Shift + V in the target. The plugin uses a shared cache folder + a unified hierarchy protocol to keep everything intact — including animations, modifiers, and Octane materials.
Built for studios that work cross-DCC, freelancers switching between rigging in Maya and lookdev/render in Blender, and anyone tired of writing export presets by hand.
Features

What you get

Bidirectional Sync Maya ➞ Blender and Blender ➞ Maya from the same shortcut. No separate import/export buttons.
Selective Transfer Toggle which elements come along: meshes, materials, lights, cameras, armatures, baked animations.
Smart Scaling Automatic unit matching keeps dimensions consistent — no more 100× scaled meshes.
Octane Material Sync Optional renderer sync mode preserves Octane material properties across both apps.
Custom Shortcuts Default Ctrl + Shift + C / V — fully remappable per-app.
Native UI Integration Sync Tools menu in Maya's main menubar; SyncTools tab in Blender's 3D View sidebar.
Auto Cache Cleanup Cache folder under ~/Documents auto-clears after each paste — no disk bloat.
Cross-Platform Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
