What is MB file?
MB or .mb is an abbreviation for Maya Binary Project File. The MB File Extension is a 3D animation software developed by Autodesk, Maya. It is generally used to store various binary archives of Maya projects, such as meshes, surfaces, textures, cameras, lights, HDR images, and related information. MB Files may save complex 3D scenes built with polygons, fluids, dynamics objects, NURBS surface shapes, or other 3D animation tools like Maxon Cinema 4D. Maya itself can open these .

How to convert the file from MB to MA?
To successfully convert the MB file to MA, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.MB). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case MA (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than MA).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. MB to MA. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting MB files to MA files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension MA, while before this step we had the MB file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new MA file, or not.
