How to combine different scenes

[Anonymous]

Hi to everyone, I'm writing for a little problem in Maya. I have created differt objects, in different files. Now I have to create an animation using all these objects but I don't know how to open them in the same scene. I tryed with "import" but, in this way, they change colour and also when I tray reassign it they have all the same colour.

Hope you can help me

Thanks you:)

Hi!

I recommend to use File Referencing.

You can find more about this in the Maya online help.

For the color problem, please make sure to assign a new material to an object first, right after creation of the object, otherwise all objects use the same default material, which is applied by default when you create a new object.

Thank you guys I tryed using "export" but my mistake was I was keeping the same "standard surface" (I don't know the right name), which was set to a certain colour, for different objects. So I created a new one.

Thank you
