Even in the render view nothing shows up at all. Please help. 
In the other views, it's just a bunch of squares mashed together. I get no mesh or UV textures.

Hello,
Ok, I have Maya and I have successfully installed the plugin "COLLADAMaya_0.9.5.517_x86". Now I am a big newb at this sort of thing, and I cannot seam to import the .DAE file properly. I will show you some screen shots of what I am experiencing:
Here is me showing that I have the .DAE file and the defuse, normal and specular files also.

I have made sure that Z is up and that any other imported image will automatically be Z-Up.

Ok so now I will open the .DAE file.

Here is what comes up when I open it.

Here is my Spore creature up close on Maya...

With the Normal, Defuse and Specular files, when I try to 'Import' them this is what I get.

If somebody would please help me get to the part when I can actually play around with the creature/model I would greatly appreciate it. As I said before, I am a complete newbie with the Maya Program.
Thank you in advance and Respect,
(*$Malli$*)

Looks like you actually have everything imported correctly! The mess of lines are just animation joints that are just too large for the model you are working with. Here's how to fix it:
In Maya, go to the menu "Display"->"Animation"->"Joint size..." and set the joint size to be a smaller number, I found that 0.04 works nicely for Spore models.
Give that a try, you're almost there!

And then you can press the "4", "5", and "6" keys to toggle the render mode between wireframe, textured, etc.

Okay, that's just plain awesome. I think I'll try it sometime, if I can.

Well, now I have the "bones" of the creature, but still no mesh or texture.

If anyone is looking for a simple program which they want to use to look at their models and do renders. Then Daz studio is a good one. Its free and its here.
http://www.daz3d.com/i/software/daz_studio3?_m=d
The only thing you cant do in that is animate and pose them, because for some reason the mesh and skeleton end up as two separate objects, but there may even be away to combine them although I havent found a way yet.
