In 2005, Autodesk, Inc. acquired Alias|Wavefront, the original creators of Maya in 1998. Maya Binary Scene File Format (.mb) files are saved in the 64-bit format that can exceed 2.0 GB in size. This version is incompatible with earlier versions of Autodesk Maya which are saved in the 32-bit format. Maya Binary Scene File Format (.mb) files are compressed. The format has a text-based sibling format Maya ASCII Scene File Format (.ma), both formats preserve all the information contained within a scene. Because this format is proprietary and requires Autodesk Maya software to execute, NARA recommends transforming .ma files to Universal Scene Description (USD) for preservation. However, further research is required as it is not clear if this can be done without opening the .ma file in Autodesk Maya." ; dcterms:identifier "NF00906" ; rdfs:label "NF00906" ; wikidata:p1195 "mb" ; wikidata:p2748 "https://pronom.nationalarchives.gov.uk/fmt/862" ; wikidata:p3266 "https://www.loc.gov/preservation/digital/formats/fdd/fdd000605.shtml" ; wikidata:p3381 "http://fileformats.archiveteam.org/wiki/Maya_scene" ; wikidata:p973 "https://docs.fileformat.com/3d/mb/" ; wikidata:p973 "https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q59653819" ; nara:category naraid:DesignVector ; nara:formatName "Maya Binary Scene File Format (.mb)" ; nara:preservationAction naraid:Assess ; nara:preservationPlan "Further research is required, tranform to USD if possible" ; nara:riskLevel naraid:Moderate ; nara:tools "Procure and/or develop tools" ; "PRONOM is for the 64 Bit version, 32 Bit is fmt/861" ; . a owl:Ontology ; .
