Matthias, Stefan and myself were discussing this the other evening at the IRC. RS needs the FBX filter to be fully sorted to handle skeletons / bones and that. Also at this stage RS needs the Collada filter to be implemented:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COLLADA Its being adopted widely. I too do the switching around the apps thing. I use Modo and Blender. Modo has recently added rudimentary IK. Blender 2.5 has a whole new animation system added. 2.5 not out officially yet, but builds available at graphicall.org I have gone back and forth with char animation between Modo and Blender using .MDD Aidan 2009/10/15 Matthias Kappenberg <m...@the-dimension.com>: > Hi Stefan, > > it's time consuming to learn the new apps > (Houdini and Maya, hehe and PMG, > I know Jean-Sebastien didn't like the last one). > > Maybe the new RS will have some *.mdd import option. > It's real fun to switch animations between the apps > without affecting any shading or other options. > Model in RS animate in another app and switch back > to render in RS without any problem would be great. > > Hopefully all the new stuff is in my head in the next two > or three month ;-) > Then I'll be fully back to RS :-) > In the meantime there's maybe not to much time left > to explore the new RS v7. > > Matthias > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Beg-inner" <begg...@spray.se> > To: <user-list@light.realsoft3d.com> > Sent: Wednesday, October 14, 2009 6:32 PM > Subject: Re: V7 release date yet?
