To remove default lighting while importing an FBX file into Maya, you can follow these steps:

  1. Launch Maya and open a new or existing scene.

  2. Go to the File menu and select Import.

  3. In the Import dialog box, navigate to the location where your FBX file is stored and select it.

  4. In the FBX Import Options dialog box, you will see various import settings. Look for the section related to Lights or Lighting.

  5. Depending on the version of Maya you are using, the exact option names may vary, but generally, you'll find an option related to importing lights or preserving light information. Uncheck or disable this option.

  6. Review other import settings as needed and adjust them according to your requirements.

  7. Once you have made the desired adjustments, click the Import button to import the FBX file into Maya.

To remove default lighting when importing an FBX file into Maya, first, open the Outliner and locate any lights associated with the imported file. Simply select and delete these lights.You can also disable or delete lights directly within the Character Creator software before exporting the FBX file.

To remove default lighting when importing an FBX file into Maya:

  1. Check Default Lighting: Ensure the "Use Default Lighting" option is disabled in the Render Settings under the Common tab.
  2. Delete Imported Lights: If the FBX file brings in unwanted lights, delete them manually from the Outliner.
  3. Disable Lights in Viewport: Go to the Lighting menu in the viewport and uncheck Default Lighting.
  4. Add Custom Lighting: Set up your own lights to control the scene's illumination.

This ensures you have full control over the lighting setup.
