I'm a creator for Imvu and my computer will not be able to download the 3Ds max file but it will be able to download Autodesk maya. now I need some meshes or maps of male and female body for maya not 3Ds max.so I can work. Will imvu be able to make some for autodesk maya?

It is unlikely.
IMVU only supports 3DS max.

I'm not certain if you will even find exporters to convert Maya files to something that create mode will import.
You may be better off trying Blender. There is a great group who offer lots of help for people trying to learn Blender and it is completely free and the licence allows commercial use.

Blender

Maya is not supported by IMVU the only 3D programs that we can use are 3D Max, Sketchup and Blender. Maya has never been supported making products onto IMVU.

I am also a Maya user. I use Maya 8.0.
Shinobubu's method definitely works.

The way I am able to do it is quite a bit different from Shinobubu's.
It has taken me over two months to work out almost all the bugs but I can export all the Cal3D files directly out of Maya. I don't have to use any other 3D graphics program.

The exported files are not perfect and need a little bit of editing in a word processing program but it only takes a minute or two to make the needed changes.

The plugin I am using is available for Maya 7, 8.0 and 8.5. I don't know if they will work for newer versions.

Here is a link to my first IMVU product I made solely in Maya:
http://www.imvu.com/shop/product.php?products_id=8610792

I am in the process of creating templates in Maya and writing a booklet on how to use them and how to edit the Cal3D files to make them 100% compatible with IMVU.

If you are interested message me privately or email me at designetc2003@hotmail.com
