I agree, converting between formats can be problematic. XSI has very powerful and versatile scripting tools, Maya has MEL for scripting, and the .ac format is text-based and relatively simple. With a little research and effort you can create your own exporter script and exactly control your exported mesh. I've been tempted to do this for XSI, but Blender already has a Python script included with the base package that does a very good job of exporting to the .ac format, and this works for me as I'm comfortable with both applications. There may be scripts out there to do this for XSI or Maya now, I haven't checked in a while. The answer to your question likely depends on what you are willing to do. -Gary, "Buckaroo" on MP > ----- Ursprüngliche Mail ---- > Von: Gary Neely <grne...@gmail.com> > An: FlightGear developers discussions <flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> > Gesendet: Sonntag, den 31.
