MA is a plain text file created with Maya application. MA files contain 3D model data, including object geometry, lighting settings, and animations. MA files are used for rendering 3D scenes.

Files with the .OBJ extension contain data of three-dimensional object such as 3D coordinates, maps of textures, and walls of polyhedra, saved in a universal format. OBJ files are supported by various applications for creating and editing 3D graphics.

What is file format conversion?

File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "MA") to another (referred to as "OBJ"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, MA file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format MA to format OBJ becomes essential.

So, how can we perform MA to OBJ file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format MA and transforming it into format OBJ. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of MA to OBJ converters.
