Thanks Leo, but I am using the attributes already in Maya, point velocity should be a pretty standard one. I am now considering using Steve Caron skies PRT exporter if I can just figure out how to use the export function (I can’t find the dang thing in the menus now I have installed it ; )

I had no trouble getting my custom attributes over this way. Gesendet: Freitag, 16.

This is because this seems to be the only format that the Naiad emp converter works with from ICE. All works fine but I don't seem to be able to get point velocity into Maya, which is the whole purpose of the exercise... I have tried adding velocity in the tree, even using names that Maya would recognise (like WorldVelocity and AngularVelocityPP) Any help greatly appreciated. N
