Yeah… Just to add a little more to the topic. While Swift will import a 3DS from any program and support basic materials and model mesh, it retains the most information from 3DS files created with 3ds max. When using one of these files, not only will materials and model mesh be respected, but so to will animations, custom cameras and lights. 🙂

I think you need to buy the exporter to do ahmed is talking about is an add on and not included with swift v3.

erain is working on an exporter for maya…But getting files from maya to max I think is not possible. But if you can save as a .dxf then your in business to get it to swift.

Maya 5 is coming out with a vector renderer. It uses the same renderer as Swish3d (RAVIX3). For the plugin for maya 4, dont think they will bother, more reason to get the newer version of maya.

i do not know if its out. i just think when you say that version 5 can render vector-graphics, and then tell me to buy it, its logical that version 5 is already on the market…
if so, i think ill buy it.
but there must be another way to get my maya-stuff into swift ☹
