Exporter Options

Mesh Options

The Mesh section controls geometry-specific export behavior, including tangents, gaussian splats, and round-trip metadata.

Open Exporter Overview Install the Plug-in View Supported Features

Export Tangents

• Disabled by default
• Writes the TANGENT attribute to the output file
• Enable this when your target runtime depends on authored tangent-space data
• Leave disabled when the target runtime can generate tangents and you want smaller files

Gaussian Splats

• Disabled by default
• Exports gaussianSplatShape nodes as KHR_gaussian_splatting point primitives
• Requires the external gaussianSplat plug-in and export bridge to already be available in Maya
• If the bridge is unavailable, splat shapes are skipped with a warning

Export Quad Topology

• Disabled by default
• Stores Maya-oriented quad or n-gon topology metadata for later re-import into Maya
• Intended for round-trip workflows
• Increases file size and should usually stay off for web/runtime delivery builds
