๐Ÿ” SyncTools Pro for Maya

One-click copy & paste of Maya scene data into Blender โ€” 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 โ€” no manual exporters, no settings juggling.
What gets transferred
โ€ข Meshes โ€” geometry, normals, UV sets
โ€ข Materials โ€” PBR + Octane sync
โ€ข Skeletons โ€” joints, weights, bind poses
โ€ข Animations โ€” baked keyframes & clips
โ€ข Lights & Cameras โ€” full transforms
โ€ข Hierarchy โ€” 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 โ€” 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.
