-- sometimes you get a maya file that sombody gave you,lets say that your friend gave you a scene that he did in maya 2010.
but you have maya 2008.
so you ask your friend to save his file in maya ascci(.ma), so thene you will change it manualy to maya 2008 version.
but whats happend if your friend can't save his file in maya ascci type(.ma) ???thene you f*** up !!!
normaly when you can't save the file in maya ascci(.ma),maya will show an error that say:

normaly when you can't save the file in maya ascci(.ma),maya will show an error that say:
"File contains unknown nodes or data. To preserve this information, the current file type cannot be changed."
it mean that you have unknow nodes that maya dont know what to do or how to save this nodes!
normaly this unkown nodes come because you have used(or sombody als) some plug-ins that you dont have enymore on your computer!
so, maya try to look those plug's and dont find them...for that resons they are "unknows"
so i will show you in this tutorials how to solve this issiue.

i know that normally maya save as defult the files with the curret version of maya so if you save a file in maya 2010 and save it as .ma format,so you can open it with notepad and change the version manualy,as u did, but maya dont know to save in other version of maya that are less of the curret version (kind of you can't save maya file that done in version 2010 as version 2009 or less) that what i do sometimes

Hello, I have an issue where I'm animating a character created in 2014 but I have 2013, I'm getting the same unknown error message and I cannot render with Mental Ray because of it. I followed the tutorial and did exactly as you said but it erased my animation with the lipsink. Was there something else I needed to do in order to prevent that?

It works! Thanks a lot.
