Does anyone know of any Maya md5 exporters?  I've just gotten ahold of Maya 2012, but haven't been able to turn up an exporter yet.

[Bladeghost]

I found this ...

http://scripts.zbufferstudios.com/mel/md5Exporter.rar
it might work?

[motorsep]

I wonder if Greebo can build http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=MayaImportx86_versions for 2012 / 2013 / 2014 / 2015 ?

The Zbuffer maya MD5 exporter does work with Maya, confirmed. Maya ASE exporter from zbuffer also works, but I am uncertain whether exporting vertex colors works atm.

[motorsep]

Wouldn't it be better to compile Maya plugin for Doom 3 against latest Mayas ? (2014 / 2015)

THanks for the scripts for studio max.
I have been looking for some sctips that import md5 for ETQW none seemed to work.
Where as these work great :-)

I hope this can be added to this list too:

Blender io_export_md5_obj  http://idtechforums.fuzzylogicinc.com/index.php?topic=348.0

Added the new md5 exporter to list.

[motorsep]

ASE Importer for Blender 2.76b (we added vertex color support, mesh smoothing and it adds texture slots to the material if textures/ folder from base/ placed next to the .blend file; the last feature is for Blender Internal renderer only):

Thanks, added that one.

Are they still available somewhere?

I'd like to take a look at https://github.com/OpenTechEngine/ModelingTools/tree/master/MD5/Blender/io_export_md5_obj but it's 404'ing me.

[The Happy Friar]

looks like link changed.  Try this: https://github.com/OpenTechEngine/ModelingTools/tree/master/MD5/Blender

[EoceneMiacid]

Thx!

If this one still works with 2.79, then I'd say it's better than the one you are asking about. It has nicer GUI and better workflow (at least for me).
