问题
I have a maya model done in maya 2008. I need to be able to convert it a JSON format for use with three js. So far , I have tried
1) threeJsFileTranslator.py which is a maya plugin to export a model and is provided as a part of the threejs package.
2) MDD-OBJ-EXPORTER - with this , I was successfully able to import the animated model into blender but when I tried to export it to threejs , the js file didn't work.
I am breaking my head over this from the past 2 weeks. So please bear with me if this question is too silly but I do need help with successfully converting an animated maya model to json format.

MAYA TO THREE JS WITH ANIMATION
回答1:
You can export your model as FBX from Maya and then load it into http://Clara.io (the online 3D modeling, animation and rendering tool). From there you can export it in the various ThreeJS JSON formats pretty easily.
http://Clara.io supports loading at least the following formats:
- .blend - Blender 3D
- .3ds - 3D Studio
- .dae - Collada
- .dxf - AutoCAD
- .fbx - FilmBox (Autodesk FBX)
- .irr - Irritch Scenes
- .irrmesh - Irritch Meshes
- .iv - Inventor
- .json - Three.JS Meshes
- .lwo - Lightwave Objects
- .lws - Lightwave Scenes
- .lxo - Modo Objects
- .q3d, .q3s, .md, .md2, .md3, .md4 - Quake/Doom Meshes
- .mtl/.obj - Wavefront Objects
- .ply - Polygon Type
- .pov - PovRAY
- .shp - Shape Files
- .stl - Stereolithography (3D Printing)
- .vismat, .vismatzip - VRay Vismat
- .xgl, .zgl, .wrl, .wrz - VRML X3D Scene Files

It's not answered because at this point (8/2013) it's not simple :0
I have not tried it but it's been suggested that the Quake2 MD2 format offers a pathway for animated models into Three. Theres an online MD2 > JSON converter (again, haven't tried it). MD2 plugins for maya are hard to come by: you can build one using the source on github. Older versions of blender (< 2.5) apparently also export md2.
The Three JSON format - at least the publicly available one on the web site - doesn't seem to have any animation support ATM.

If you're starting with Maya you can try www.inka3d.com. You also need a newer Maya, you can get a trial at autodesk (and install it in a vm when you need to export)

You might be aware that THREE.js comes with an exporter for Maya, but it only works for static models.
I have created an updated version that also supports exporting rigged and animated models. It doesn't require any intermediate steps: it just outputs straight to a .JS file. We have a pull request to integrate the updated exporter with the THREE trunk, but if you want to get the new and improved exporter immediately you can get it from this repository: https://github.com/BlackTowerEntertainment/three.js/tree/maya_animation_exporter. The exporter files are in utils/exporters/maya.
