Xbox Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith Maya Importer

Xbox Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith Maya Importer is a compiled native C++ plug-in for Autodesk Maya 2024.2 and 2027.2. It imports complete editor levels, characters, props, textures, materials, skeletons, skin weights, and animations directly from the Xbox version of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.

The importer creates ordinary editable Maya scenes using native transforms, meshes, joints, skinClusters, animation curves, color sets, lights, cameras, file textures, and material networks.
