Hi,

I’ve been looking into purchasing Swift 3D but I’m not sure what kind of animation options I have. I’m trying to create a 3D animation in Vector format (low filesize) and unfortuanatly the Renderer isnt supported in Max 6. Atleast, the website says its only for 5+.

Anyways, I do all my animating with Character Studio currently and I saw a post on here saying it doesnt support bipeds. Basically, what I would have to do is export each .3ds file frame by frame, import them into swift 3d frame by frame, and render it out as 1 animation into flash? My most basic animations are over 100 frames. The v2 renderer would be perfect if it works for Max 6, still not sure on that tho…
