Do you want to use your Maya model in other 3D software? One way to do this is by exporting it as an OBJ file. Here's a simple guide on how to export your Maya model as an OBJ:

1. Select your model: Before exporting, make sure you have the intended model selected in your Maya scene. You can select it by clicking on the object or objects you want to export.

2. Go to File menu: Once your model is selected, go to the File menu at the top of the Maya interface.

3. Choose Export Selection: From the File menu, hover over Export Selection and choose OBJ from the list of file formats.

4. Set OBJ export options: A window will pop up with options for the OBJ export. Here, you can choose the file name, the location to save the file, and various export options such as smoothing and grouping. Make sure to adjust these settings according to your needs.

5. Click Export: Once you've set the export options, click the Export button to save your Maya model as an OBJ file.

6. Test the exported OBJ: Open the exported OBJ file in the 3D software of your choice to ensure that the model was exported correctly and retains its textures, materials, and UV mapping.

That's it! You've successfully exported your Maya model as an OBJ file. Now you can use it in other 3D software for rendering, animation, or any other purposes.

Remember, exporting as an OBJ may not retain all the complex material and lighting setups from Maya, so you may need to make adjustments in the new software.

Exporting your Maya model as an OBJ opens up a world of possibilities for using your creations in different 3D workflows. Whether it's for game development, visual effects, or 3D printing, knowing how to export your models is a valuable skill for any 3D artist. Happy exporting!
