Export your model in *.obj file format. (To a directory established just for this purpose.) The textures will be exported as well.

Personally, I delete all history before exporting, and I "combine" everything that is reasonable to do so before exporting. (And, of course, you will have been meticulous about your UV mapping, yes?)

Other than that, there is no special magic needed.

Be aware that your axis settings never export correctly into an *.obj model. That is, the Maya *.obj exporter strips all info away about your axis settings. (This may be a problem with the basic *.obj file format itself, I don't really know. But, I have traced the problem to the complex lack of axis info within the *.obj file.) So, if you've made doors that open with an assigned pivot point, etc., you'll have to do these all over again inside Vue.
